About this Event

Grab your Early Bird tickets before January 4th, 23:59 😉💥 (Our events has been sold out till now, so don't wait for last minute) This time as it is daytime on a Sunday, we've arranged the option to eat a delicious meal togetter after the event in Cafe/Restaurant Baryl, in Indre By Kulturhus, where we'll have some time to connect and socialize after the dance :) If you want to eat with us after, you just have to book your spot at the tables, and you'll get a 10% discount on all food and drinks. There is a limit on 45 people at the tables, so booking is recommended. TO BOOK YOUR TABLE/SPOT: Go to: www.baryl.dk - and write ECSTATIC DANCE in your booking, so they know you are with us and get a discount. The food is ordered at the restaurant, but you can check out what they have online - (if you are vegan, there is a vegan option for all the plates with plantbased tuna;) This event is an invitation to approach dance as a moving meditation, as a way to sweat your prayers and celebrate being alive, with all that it includes. Have you ever been longing for a dancefloor where you can set yourself free to dance as if no one is watching, and where everyone else is doing it too? A dancefloor with a high and clear vibe - no alcohol, no small talk, no smartphones, no shoes. Just a crowd of people moving their bodies for the pure enjoyment of it, for the therapy, the medicine, the pleasure. Whatever mood you might be in when you arrive, let it move. There is no agenda and nothing you can do wrong in your way of dancing. It is a potential self-healing place, a potential meditation in motion - or you might simply just like to move your body in a room with other dancers. Come and be free to move as YOU! THE MUSIC: The DJs intention is to create a smooth wave with great variety, for you to experience yourself and your moving body in different ways, a multicolor journey with room for many aspects of being human. In Ecstatic Dance with Grundstoff & Ionstrøm, you will always start out slow and sensitive, building intensity and landing back into slow at the end. In between, you will experience a variety of emotional and energetic landscapes; playful, light, heavy, blissful, aggressive, breathtaking, disturbing, sexual, melancholic, soft, fast, slow. Our baseline is a deep love for electronic music, and we also love the organic elements; beautiful voices, violins, saxophones, percussion, hang drums. Expect tunes and voices from south america, balkan, spain, scandinavia & india. Expect flavors of swing discoteque, movie soundtrack, cirkus and psytrance. Expect some singing bowls, some glitch and some dubstep. It will all be weaved seamlessly together in a flow that feels smooth and inviting. The DJ set will sometimes be accompanied with live instruments, and the event is started and rounded off in an acoustic soundscape. CEREMONIAL CACAO: Enhance your dance with Charmed Chocolates' Ceremonial Cacao, available as an optional supplement. This gentle yet energizing elixir will elevate your dance experience and deepen your connection with yourself and others. GOOD TO BRING: * A water bottle * Dry clothes for after the event – we intend to make you sweaty * Your own cup for cacao – (let's reduce waste) THE PROGRAM: We begin with a short introduction to Ecstatic Dance guidelines and what it can be, a few words to welcome new dancers. A 5-10 minute floor exercise will open the dance, and then there will be no more guiding words. Every expression is welcome. Floor crawling, shaking, large movements, stillness - follow your body. Dance alone or dance together, move as you please between these elements and more. The general Ecstatic Dance guidelines apply – see the end of the page. *** PROGRAM 14/01-2024: 16.00 - Welcome!

DJ Grundstoff is currently located in Thailand, sharing yoga, dance & more, but will come back & play occasionally. The events will be held in the same spirit that we have created together through the last few years ☀️❤️ *** Ecstatic Dance COMMON Guidelines: 1. We dance barefoot This allows us to connect more fully with the ground, and keep each others feet safe. If needed wear soft shoes. 2. No talking on the dancefloor. This makes it easier to be in our bodies rather than our thoughts, and be fully absorbed in the dance experience. 3. We get high on the same vibes No mind-altering substances, including alcohol. 4. We dance off screen No mobile phones / photo & filming on the dancefloor. (Arrangers will sometimes take photos. No photo where you can be recognized will be published without consent.) Please be aware : Ecstatic Dance as well as Ceremonial Cacao can bring us to vulnerable states. Be sensitive when seeking contact, take responsability for your own yes/no and respect the (verbal or non verbal) no of others. Own your experience and create the best possible evening for yourself and others. NOTICE: No ticket refunds. You can search to sell your ticket to another dancer in the fb event page. The transfer can be easily done via Billetto. Be aware of fake fb profiles pretending to sell tickets. When you want to sell tickets via fb, the 2-3 last hours up to the event, we are super busy and might not be able to log in and accept your post.
