About this event
Release the week. Dance into the weekend.
Join us on an exhilarating journey, where music becomes a potent catalyst for exploration, creativity and self-expression - where anything feels possible, and all of us is welcome.
Following a guided warm-up, we’ll flow into an ecstatic dance wave —sometimes soft, sometimes wild—always alive.
The live DJ set will build a potent soundscape, from ambient vibes to global rhythms, house and techno - blending rich, emotive melodies with surging peaks, calling us to shake off physical and emotional tensions and let go into movement.
No steps to follow, no experience needed - simply be yourself.
Finally, we’ll drop into a nourishing period of deep relaxation, accompanied by healing sounds, to integrate and ground the journey, before coming together in a closing circle.
After the dance, you're encouraged to stay for an informal gathering, where healthy drinks and snacks will be available.
