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 Note:

Ecstatic Dance Age Limits: for safety & liability reasons, children under the age of 12 are not allowed to join Ecstatic Dance, as the dance floor is very crowded, and we don’t want any injuries.

That said, if you have children that you would like to bring with you while you dance, please make sure there is a caregiver looking after them, especially little ones….. The Yoga Barn staff is already very occupied and cannot look after children.

Thank you for your understanding.
