As part of #EDAW2021, we are offering an online Ecstatic Dance Workshop, where participants can explore movement in a safe, accepting space.

Ecstatic Dance empowers people of all genders, sizes, and backgrounds to freely express themselves.

Without being bound by choreography or dance 'steps', participants are able to move their body in a way that feelings best to them. It's not about what the dance looks like, it is about what it FEELS like.

This facilitated dance class will support you to connect with your body in a gentle and loving way, and move without inhibitions.
