WHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE?
Ecstatic Dance is a free-form movement journey and moving meditation that’s sweeping the world !! Guided by a live DJ, we flow through an epic soundscape of all genres: fast and slow, classical to psytrance, drum and bass to dub - no style is off-limits! The music moves in waves; starting gently, building to vibrant peaks, and ending in stillness.
There are no steps, no judgment, no need to perform - just pure, free expression. We generally dance barefoot, without talking, in a sober, mindful space where respect and presence create a safe container. Ecstatic Dance is transformative, playful, and deeply liberating. It releases stress, boosts endorphins, and connects us to community, ourselves, and even a higher source. It can truly one of the most magical experiences life has to offer!
GUIDELINES To keep the space safe and enjoyable for everyone, we follow these simple guidelines:
- Speech: No chatting on the dance floor - sounding is welcome but please be considerate of others
- Footware: We like to dance barefoot to ground, but if you need to wear shoes, please bring clean soft indoor shoes and be mindful of people's toes!
- Boundaries /consent: Respect personal space & check for consent before dancing with someone. If you're not sure whether it's a 'yes', treat it like a 'no'.
- Substances: No alcohol, drugs or other substances - this is a sober practice
- Screen free: No phones or cameras during the dance - drop out of your head and into your body and give yourself the gift of switching off!
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR / BRING?
- Comfy clothes you can move freely in - layers are useful as you might get really hot dancing then cool down when still.
- Earplugs if you're sensitive to loud music.
- A journal and pen if you like to write.
- Your beautiful self, a water bottle (refill available) and curiosity!
Please note that tickets are non-refundable. If you give more than 24 hour's notice, you can use your credit for another dance. Contact Reya lets.dance.sheffield@gmail.com

Ecstatic Dance is a free-form movement practice where there are no set steps, no judgment, and no need to perform. You simply let the music guide you and move in any way that feels good. It’s not about how you look—it’s about how you feel and express yourself.
