What is Ecstatic Dance

It celebrates freedom of expression without words, judgments, and masks.

It is playful, magical, and builds strong connections.

Why Bonjuk Bay?

many years.

Guidelines

Respect & Care

We dance in an environment where we are respectful and caring towards ourselves and each other.

Barefoot

We also liberate ourselves from shoes. It supports us in re-establishing our connection with the ground.

Sober & Clean

Ecstatic Dance is a dance experienced completely sober and conscious.

Without Talking

Every moment we talk, we move away from the present moment. Our goal is to be in the moment and in the body.

No Phones & Cameras

In order to completely let ourselves go, we keep phones and cameras away from our dances.
