a one off open air dance to celebrate Summer

Dancing in nature. On the earth. In the sun. With the elements.

EDB unites the worlds of Ecstatic Dance, diverse dance music and sound system culture.

Using the practice of Ecstatic Dance we create a held space for you to express, expand and experience rejuvenation through movement, dance and sound.

The experience is a modern day ritual where the communion of people, movement and sound serve as mediums for transformation, liberation and soul invigorating celebration.

Our community gatherings are alcohol-free and are suitable for all ages, abilities and people.

Come as you are. Dance as you please. Be your unique self.
