About this event
๐๐๐๐๐๐ FRIDAY @Common Ground
No pressure, no performance
just music, movement, and space to be yourself.
Different from ecstatic dance, the raves are a playground for DJโs to experiment and for us dancers to explore.
The Ecstatic Rave is in its core still about simply dancing freely together
the vibe is relaxed, grounded, and easy going.
Expect new types of music, different intensities, and unfamiliar experiences.
We created it out of a love for dancing and connecting through movement.

We begin with a short facilitated opening to help everyone arrive in the space and gently connect with the group.

We end with a closing circle, a moment to lie down, relax, integrate, and share some snacks

This is a contribution-based dance.
A contribution between โฌ10 and โฌ20 keeps the space accessible and sustainable.
Youโre welcome to give more or less, depending on your experience and your current capacity. This way of contributing allows the space to stay accessible, while honouring the value of the experience
