OUR CLASSES
ECSTATIC DANCE
Ecstatic Dance is an internal experience. Dance yourself free to let go, this experience is all for YOU.
Ecstatic Dance is a global movement that has been active around the world since the mid 90’s, originally inspired by Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms. At The Yoga Barn, Ecstatic Dance is a weekly community gathering that takes place on Friday nights and Sunday mornings.
Each dance is facilitated by a professional DJ who will hold a safe and sacred container for you, as s/he guides you on a journey through the music to where all can connect to a common source of ecstatic energy on the dance floor.
There are two studios to dance in: the upper level, Studio Nyoman, which has limited capacity, and the lower Studio, Ketut, which can handle another 75 people or so.
Each Ecstatic Dance at The Yoga Barn ends with a very special closing; either a delicate closing set or with sound healing or singing and chanting.

Please respect these rules
Ecstatic Dance at The Yoga Barn is not suitable for children because of the unpredictable nature of the crowd’s movement, for this reason, no one under the age of 15 is permitted upstairs for dance. The fee for a teen to dance upstairs is the same as an adult.
Any teen age 15 years old or under is welcome to dance, free of charge in the downstairs studio (Ketut). Children under 10 years old may dance downstairs, free of charge, with parental supervision.
If The Yoga Barn staff feels that a child is at risk in any way, the child and parents will not be permitted to enter.
Thank you for your understanding!
