DJ Divana

We heard you miss the Sunday dances so here it is: Sunday SPECIAL, an afternoon dance for creativity, wilderness, ease and connections! Time to meet your chosen community, or try something new, connect from your soul and have some workout to shake up your weekend!  
SUNDAYS are, as well, for dancing, and we invited DJ Divana to join us. Sangha caffe will open its kitchen and bar after the dance, we hope we all stay and share some longer post dance bliss and meal.  

Invite your loved ones, meet them on a dance floor!  

****  

Ecstatic Dance is a 2.5 hour conscious dance journey: free-form movement with no choreography or planned steps. We dance without words, shoes, or substances, allowing the body to respond intuitively to music and the energy of others on the dance floor. Dance solo, with a partner, or in a group. The choice is always yours.  

Our professional DJs weave soundscapes to awaken your most vibrant self, inviting creativity and presence. Dance becomes a journey and an experience of recharging and reconnecting. Finding the ecstasy within. Body, mind, and soul.  

Check out our website www.ecstaticnorth.com to learn more about Ecstatic Dance and our dance community in Groningen.

ECSTATIC DANCE SPECIAL with Dj SEFRIJN

Another extra FreeFlow special night with DJ Yarl!  

We have been searching for a while to expand our FreeFlow energy in Utrecht and are happy to share the good news: we found an amazing location that offers us more space to dance! A small church with a wooden floor, nice acoustics and in the city centre of Utrecht: De Zalen van Zeven on the Boothstraat.  

Important: there's no (free) parking here as it's in the city centre and bicycle parking is on Janskerkhof, not (!) in front of the door.  

DJ YARL, aka Jarl F. Hector, brings dance floors into a world of sound that’s as transformative as it is captivating. With roots as a guitarist and singer in an indie band that toured across the Netherlands and experience as a music director for trailers and films, his sets reflect a broad, eclectic taste. From classical scores and lush downtempo to tribal IDM, soulful techno, GQOM, breakbeats, and mind-bending house, his selection spans genres and cultures, creating a rich and immersive journey.  

With a unique genre-blending approach, DJ YARL bridges the spiritual with the mainstream, guiding people to reach ecstasy on the dance floor without any substances. Expect an experience that uplifts the spirit and moves the body in pure bliss.  

Flow freely by expressing yourself through movement in any pure (without substances) and transforming way with respect to the people around you.  
The dance space is a phone-free and non-speaking area where we dance without shoes.  

Time schedule:  
19:00 - doors open  
19:20 - opening session with explorative movement  
19:40 - 21:40 dance journey with DJ YARL  
21:40 - 21:50 closing circle and chilltime with tea and snacks  

Practicalities:  
- During the dance there will be water and tea provided (please bring your own bottle)  
- Wear comfortable clothing to move freely in  
- No refunds or rescheduling possible  
- We encourage you to join from the whole experience, please aim to be there no later than 19:20  
- Space holders are present  
- Animal friends / pets are not allowed  
- Bring earplugs if you feel you are (more) sensitive to sound  
- Our events are for human beings from the age of 18  
- Please note that if an event is sold out, the only way to get a ticket still is via TicketSwap  

Extra info for this evening:  
As an exception this evening only, we have invited an experienced Ecstatic Dance photographer / videographer capturing some moments in this beautiful space with you all to be able to portray a glimpse of the magic.  
This always feels contradictive as on one hand it can be really beautiful to enjoy the vibe of those moments and on the other hand it's a space where we want to encourage expression to all emotions and processes. We understand and respect that. That's why we're letting you know if you have any concerns you have or don't want to be on camera, we invite you to share this at the door and meet the photographer so they know not to include you.  

See you then!

Hans en Martina sluiten de avond met een live ontspannende sessie met zang, kristallen klankschaal en handpan. Martina heeft niet voor niks de nickname ‘de Engel’. Wij krijgen al kippenvel als we eraan denken!

HET CONCEPT  
No words, no shoes, no substances, just dance!  
// We dansen zonder schoenen (nooit gedaan? Probeer het eens!)

Ecstatic Dance Culemborg - DJ Jethro - VRIJDAG!

Kom je mee dansen op een mooie nieuwe locatie in Ede? Dans je eigen dans op een houten vloer, onder een hoog plafond en kleurige verlichting.

Vanaf 19.00 ben je welkom voor ontvangst. Er staat dan thee of water voor je klaar. Neem eventueel zelf je beker, flesje of mok mee.
We starten de dans om 19.30 met een openingsceremonie onder begeleiding van Marjan.

Daarna neemt DJ Plugsin je mee op een meditatieve en helende dansreis waarin je kunt experimenteren met jouw beweging. Je bent vrij te uiten zoals past bij hoe jij je op dat moment voelt. In verstilling, op jezelf of in contact met anderen, precies zoals je bent.

We dansen op blote voeten. We praten niet en gebruiken geen alcohol, drugs en telefoon.

We sluiten deze dans af in de cirkel met thee en wat versnaperingen en ruimte om nog met elkaar te delen.

Tot dan!
DJ Plugsin & Marjan

guestList

Ecstatic Dance is een “bewuste” vrije vorm dans. Iedereen kan deze dans dansen en iedereen is welkom.
Dans en beweeg in alle vrijheid zoals jij dat graag doet. Jij maakt je eigen dans op jouw unieke manier.

Om de Ecstatic Dance ervaring mogelijk te maken zijn er een aantal basis regels.

Tijdens het dansen wordt niet gepraat. Geluid maken mag wel.
Respecteer jezelf, de ander en diens ruimte om te dansen.
Dansen op blote voeten.
Geen alcohol, drugs, sterke geurtjes.
Je mag in je eentje dansen en/of met één of meerdere danspartners.
Wil je samen met iemand dansen, benader die persoon dan met respect. Stel jezelf de vraag: ‘Staat hij (zij) er open voor?’ Spiegel de beweging van die danser, maak oogcontact of biedt een hand aan. Zie en voel de reactie.

Wanneer je alleen wenst (verder) te dansen, breng dan je handen samen voor je hart en bedank de ander door te groeten met een knikkend gebaar.

Fotograferen en filmen zijn niet toegestaan. Telefoons niet toegestaan in de dansruimte.
