Sa­tur­day Ec­sta­tic

Eine von einem DJ gestaltete Tanzreise zu einer abwechslungsreichen Musikmischung. Tanze in einem sicheren Raum, um deinen Geist und Körper zu befreien und dich als Teil des Ganzen zu fühlen.

A 120 min DJ-facilitated dance Journey to a varied mix of music: world beats, electronic, house, and hip-hop, among others. Dance in a safe space to free your mind and body and feel a part of it all.

On Saturday, the 21st of December 2024, DJ ATEMA will be the guide on our Hero's Journey Dance. Janis is committed to creating spaces in which dancers - fully present to themselves and others - can explore new ways of moving, feeling and interacting. Coming from techno and house music he loves the possibilities and diversity of ecstatic dance and builds journeys designed to move dancers through all different kinds of emotions.
___________________________
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.
