On the 23rd of November 2024 DJ ANANDA will be providing the music for our Ecstatic Dance Journey. Ananda loves playing with music from all over the world, exploring different soundscapes and expressing emotions through them. With her DJ mixes she ignites true freedom of expression for every*body. Dancers experience through sound and movement the connecting of body, spirit and soul. Body leads, mind follows.

___________________________

The word ‘Ecstatic’ comes from Greek ‘ek’ (out) and ‘sta’ (to stand) and can be taken to mean ‘to stand outside of oneself’. Ecstatic Dance is way of getting out of your mind for a while and into your body.

Most English language dictionaries define ‘ ecstatic’ as “feeling or expressing overwhelming happiness or joyful excitement”. Ecstatic Dance is actually a way to practice welcoming ALL emotions and giving them physical expression.

No shoes, no booze, no chit-chat! At Ecstatic Dance Bern we provide a safe substance free space to dance freely without words.

Doors open and music begins at 19:30 PM. At 20:00 PM there is a guided warm-up followed by free dance alone or together with others, in whatever way the music moves you.

Entry fee is CHF 20 / 25 / or 30 depending on what you can afford.

Every BODY can dance!
