Ecstatic Dance with Ursidae

Ecstatic Dance DC is the dance-iest dance floor in all of DC. An incredible diversity of expressions and generations show up for one thing: to dance. All magic and connection sprouts from that singular intention. Our barefoot, non-verbal, lucid space is curated for you to let loose, play, commune with your body, and connect with others in a vibrant and healthy setting. Join us for a 1.5-hour electronic dance music DJ set featuring a broad range of genres and tempos. This is a musical journey that travels through ambient, classical, jazz, house, bass, Afro-Latin, drum & bass, acoustic, and more! The music is dynamic and helps to keep your movements spontaneous and fresh. Ecstatic Dance is a community space to get down, get weird, sweat, and connect.
