Ecstatic dance with Grundstoff & Ionstrøm

March 30th, DJ GRUNDSTOFF will be on the decks and provide the Ecstatic Landscape Journey, while IONSTROM will be supporting the set with live elements on percussion, didgeridoo, kalimba et cetera.

Grundstoff will also prepare the Ceremonial Cacao, lightly spiced up with vanilla and ginger.

Our events is an invitation to approach dance as a moving meditation, as a way to sweat your prayers and celebrate being alive, with all that it brings!
Have you ever been longing for a dancefloor where you can set yourself free to dance as if no one is watching, and where everyone else is doing it too? A dancefloor with a high and clear vibe - no alcohol, no small talk, no smartphones, no shoes. Just a crowd of people moving their bodies for the pure enjoyment of it, for the therapy, the medicine, the pleasure.
Whatever mood you might be in when you arrive, let it move. There is no agenda and nothing you can do wrong in your way of dancing. It is a potential self-healing place, a potential meditation in motion - or you might simply just like to move your body in a room with other dancers. Come and be free to move as YOU!
Please invite your friends - They will love it, you will love it, we will love it!!

THE MUSIC:
The DJs intention is to create a smooth wave with great variety, for you to experience yourself and your moving body in different ways, a multicolor journey with room for many aspects of being human.
In Ecstatic Dance with Grundstoff & Ionstrøm, you will always start out slow and sensitive, building intensity and landing back into slow at the end.
In between, you will experience a variety of emotional and energetic landscapes; playful, light, heavy, blissful, aggressive, breathtaking, disturbing, sexual, melancholic, soft, fast, slow
We have a deep love for electronic music, and we also love the organic elements; beautiful voices, violins, saxophones, percussion, hang drums. Expect tunes and voices from south america, balkan, spain, scandinavia & india.
Expect swing discoteque, movie soundtrack, cirkus music and psytrance. Expect singing bowls, wobble base and traditional bulgarian choirs. It will all be weaved seamlessly together in a flow that feels smooth and inviting.
The DJ set will sometimes be accompanied with live instruments, and the event is started and rounded off in an acoustic soundscape.

CEREMONIAL CACAO:
We will offer Ceremonial Cacao as a supplement to the dance. You can choose a dance ticket with cacao or without.
Ceremonial Cacao can enhance your dance, energize the body and connect you more deeply with yourself and others. It's soft yet deep, supporting you to tap into your full potential on the dancefloor.
This gentle medicine works with your natural energy, guiding you to greater ecstasy while keeping you grounded

REMEMBER TO BRING:
* A water bottle!
* Dry clothes for after the event - we intend to make you sweaty
* Your favorite cup for cacao - lets save single use materials!

THE PROGRAM:
We begin with a short introduction to Ecstatic Dance guidelines and a few words to welcome new dancers. A short group exercise (that you can join or skip) will open the dance, and then there will be no more guiding words.
Our style of holding space is very non-invasive - there is nothing you have to do, be or believe. We aim to create a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere, while still holding a safe container.
Every expression is welcome. Floor crawling, shaking, large movements, stillness - follow your body. Dance alone or dance together, move as you please between these elements and more.
The general Ecstatic Dance guidelines apply - see the end of the page.
