ECSTATIC DANCE LONDON presents: OUR HOUSE - an uplifting evening of House Music *Plus Cacao Ceremony & Positive Intention Ritual!
We are chuffed to be announcing"OUR HOUSE" event, dedicated to all those lovers of Dance Music!
UPCOMING DATES:
-Sat, 4 May
-Sat, 29 June (might be cancelled)
We celebrate the Rave scene in all it's uplifting and heart-opening glory! Including the Deep, the Funky, Disco, and Afro-house.
*No alcohol, drugs or psychedelics are needed, we get a natural euphoria and high through the music, the dance and the connection.
We'll also be including magical ceremonial grade cacao to connect us deeply with our dance and our creativity. No experience necessary. All welcome.
Come along for a club -like dance experience -but not in the club! Held in an awesome dance space in Tufnell Park. Just steps from the station! So there is no bar, no one is selling you drinks, and the main guideline is no talking on the dancefloor! You come to just dance! Everyone comes to Dance!!
Something magical, alchemical, transformational even, can happen on a dancefloor, where everyone who is there, is there to dance to House Music!! Come to dance, come to sweat, come to move, play, connect, stretch, sound, unwind, renew, release, contact dance, improvise, transform. Be true to yourself, while respecting others in the sacred space we create together.
No prior experience of dance necessary. All welcome.

PRACTICE SPECIFICS: Warm-up: stretch, move/dance and reflect on the intention for the dance to a gentle sound wave. The Practice: freestyle dancing to a large sound wave featuring Live DJ set. Some guidance & facilitation will be provided. And then we will let the music, the community and our own inner space direct our steps, our movements, our expression, our journey. Relaxation: Ecstatic Dance usually ends with a deep relaxation. (More info about what is Ecstatic Dance - please scroll further down).

WHY CACAO?
At Ecstatic Dance London we LOVE chocolate, RAW chocolate-CACAO! We will provide complimentary Raw Vegan Cacao to superfood charge your dance with us! Cacao is the ultimate heart opener, it will give you energy, revitalise your BodyMind inviting you to express, release & unleash your creativity during the dance! Our Raw Vegan Cacao is prepared lovingly by Diana (who makes the best cacao in town for sure!). She uses ethically sourced, highest quality ingredients from Guatemala, directly from a reliable cacao bean farmer. Join us to explore Cacao + Ecstatic Dance as a potent synthesis for Transformation!
