Estatic Dance Communities Worldwide

I am on a mission to find the wildest, whackiest, most playful estatic dances around the world. I would love to hear from personal expereince peoples favorite estatic and contact dance communities world wide.

My two favorires thus far are the big Island of Hawaii and the East Bay SF. I came down to Tulum thinking they was a strong community here, but I can report back and share Tulum is defintely not on that list.

Connecting with other Ecstatic Dance DJs!

I've been dancing ecstatically for 10 or 12 years, and recently stated DJing and hosting dances in the local town (tiny place called Cranbrook up in BC, Canada).

There's a few sub-reddits with really friendly and engaged DJ communities (particularly r/beatmatch), and it'd be great to connect with other DJing looking to share mixes, improve mixing and practice skills, etc.

I'm taking an online DJ course and getting some good feedback, and DJing for e-dance โ€” being such multi-genre and multi-tempo, is just such a different beast that I don't think other DJs "Get" (if they haven't experienced it).

Drop a message or DM!

And you can find me on soundcloud.com/djdancindave

Is ecstatic dance suitable for everyone?

I'm new to ecstatic dance and frankly, my mind is blown by the experience. It feels like total freedom - very therapeutic, transcendental and healthy. It's like I had never truly danced until now.

I'm quite baffled by the fact that it's such a niche scene. Even this sub has less than a thousand subscribers. Why?

Do the people who do it have certain unusual attributes/characteristics that allow them to fully experience the wonder of it? Or is it simply that people have never had the opportunity to give it a chance, so they don't know what they're missing?

I want to introduce friends to this, but I am unsure if they'll have the same experience. Ecstatic dance sort of "found" me before I even knew what it was, so I never had to learn to let go. I understood instinctively.

Can pretty much anyone engage in this practice and feel its effects the first time? If so, why is this not more popular? It's beautiful and amazing.

I just realized one of my favorite parts about ecstatic dance

...you can hear the music better! Because no one talks on the dance floor (unlike the typical club atmosphere, where everyone's shouting over each other to be heard). Since no one talks on the dance floor, the sound of the music, with all its fidelity, shines so much brighter!

It's the same as eating a cheesecake in blissful silence, watching a movie in rapt attention, or sharing the sunset without sharing words.. No talking = no distractions from the pure beauty of it.

I'm so proud of my Ecstatic Dance sets

Hello everyone

I'm a producer/Dj in Corfu, Greece. There's a vibrant international community here that holds ecstatic dances every week. For the past month I've been DJing there, playing premeditative journeys that I create, infused with some of my music.

Yesterday was so successful, we danced so much all the windows fogged up!

I would love it if more people listen to my sets <3

Dj set inspiration

Hi everyone,

I've recently started my joirney into DJing ecstatic dance and would love to know what are people out there mixing. Would love if possible for the ones doing live sets to share the setlost, if possible. Like that I'd be able to add more and more tunes to the ones I already have.

Thanks so much for your time and hope to hear from all of you!

Ecstatic dance playlist (60 hours)

Hello music dancers/listeners,

I would like to share with you a 60 hours Spotify playlist of more than 1000 different artists which will introduce you to an ecstatic state.

You will aurally connect with spirituality, inner connection, body flow, shamanik, drums and rhythms from lots of countries, oriental, arabic, african, egyptian, indigenous, caribbean, and much more. Some are quiet, some are emotional, some are encouraging, peaceful or energic, and you will find lots of different influences and feelings. I just want you to discover it by yourself, and also be aware of the different sounds which have the languages that you will listen.

I encourage you to listen, dance and enjoy. Let your body and soul flow on ecstatic states. It is trully renovating for mind, body and soul. In addition, there are a lot of songs: you won't listen the same song in months!

You can listen now the playlist going here -->

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2mBsvSH1GAV5MeIezzGU44?si=Dvb8ADW4SDWTgba8o5B9Kg

With love,

Sandra

Dj Orfeas - Ecstatic Dance | Soundgarden, Arillas (Recorded 15/11/23)

Hello everyone! I'm a music producer and Dj, diving now into the ecstatic dance format. This is my first attempt and I'm so happy about the result.

This was danced by 80 people at the beautiful island of Corfu, Greece at a gorgeous venue called the soundgarden, on a sunny sunday morning.

Enjoy <3

Music suggestions?

Hey beautiful people! So I am hosting my first ecstatic dance here in Lincoln Nebraska and putting together a playlist. I'm wondering if you all could suggest some some of your favorite bands/artists to incorporate into the dance mix. Thank you all so much for the suggestions!!

A few recent ecstatic dance mixes!

Hi dancers round the world! I've been lucky enough to get to play at a few events here in London recently. Didn't remember to post here, but I so appreciated the feedback I got on previous posts!

Here are the recordings - do please let me know if you listen to or move to them!

A different kind of thing... a rock / metal / dubstep moshpit dance!...

Finally a club set at a conscious event:

Little compliment that made my day: after ecstatic dance tonight, someone told me she found my dancing "inspiring" (her exact word).

Hoping something's made your day too!

Ecstatic Playground London - DJ mix

What an epic evening! So honoured to have been joined by so many amazing dancers at Ecstatic Playground. Friends old and new - just going for it and getting deep into the music. Thanks so much to Iona for organising and facilitating, and Khavita for the beautiful sound healing and songs, and everyone for joining! Gutted we didn't manage to record Khavita's set at the end - I dubbed Ami Dang on in her place ๐Ÿ™

Is ecstatic dance live or recorded?

Hi, newbie here really interested in learning how all this works.

Is a dj mixing songs live or is a recorded mix being played back. Maybe depends on the organiser? What are your thoughts on this?

Blessings to all you beautiful dancing souls!!

Songs about Childhood

Hey there,

For a workshop we are looking for songs about childhood. I'm hoping to find suggestions that aren't classic rock or pop. Do you have any suggestions?
