About this event
Ecstatic dance is spreading its wings and new formats are coming up everywhere. This is our version of an Ecstatic Rave and we are would like to invite you!
We mix the beauty of Ecstatic Dance with a lot more techno, tribal beats, drum & base, psytrance and trance frequencies. Overall, the energy of the music is higher compared to a dance.
This evening is a great opportunity to let go what needs to go, express yourself and everything that currently moves you.
No substances and no dance experience needed: Just your energy and presence.
Why 'young'?
We find that there is a special energy when many young people come together. Our intention is not to exclude anyone, but to intentionally create a space where younger people can connect, express themselves, and share this unique atmosphere.
It is important to us to create this alternative to the mainstream night life scene, make it accessible for younger people and spread the love!
We are young people, collaborating with young people for young people. Supporting each other with our resources <3

About DJ Tobias Korb: Guided by the philosophy of "Journey Over Genre," Tobias Korb's sets are a sonic narrative where the story is everything. He weaves hypnotic builds with cathartic peaks and a constant interplay between dark/heavy and light/playful sounds to create a full-spectrum dance experience. Prepare for an intense journey that always concludes with a soft, integrative landing.

About Bart & Pia: "We are honoured to be your facilitators for this Ecstatic Rave evening and are so excited to raise the energy beyond the walls."
- Bart: "I love psytrance and drum&bass to completely lose my mind to. I have been dancing Ecstatic Dance for a couple of years now and I am super excited to combine the energy of Ecstatic Dance with that of a rave. My facilitation style can be described as warm, open and energetic."
- Pia: "Dancing is one of my main ways to express myself freely and I absolutely love it. I am in awe of these sober spaces and the energy that can be created in the field. What a blessing to bring these spaces to you and enjoy them with you! I love to facilitate spaces that are felt, lived and honest."
