Ecstatic Dance with Grundstoff & Ionstrøm

Join us on AUGUST 3rd for a moving, connecting and uplifting Saturday evening, with DJ GRUNDSTOFF on the decks and the option to savor ceremonial cacao from Charmed Chocolates.

DJ Grundstoff is here on vacation from Thailand, and this is the last opportunity with her on the decks this summer!
Grab your Early Bird tickets before July 24th, 23:59
(We usually sell out, so don't wait for last minute)
This event 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 includes.
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!
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.
Our baseline is 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, Africa, Scandinavia & India.
Expect flavors of swing discoteque, movie soundtrack, cirkus and psytrance. Expect some singing bowls, some Glitch, Wobble Bass, and some Deep House and Dubstep. 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:
Enhance your dance with Charmed Chocolates' Ceremonial Cacao, available as an optional supplement. This gentle yet energizing elixir will elevate your dance experience and deepen your connection with yourself and others.
GOOD TO BRING:
* A water bottle
* Dry clothes for after the event - we intend to make you sweaty
* Your own CUP for cacao - (let's reduce waste)
THE PROGRAM:
We begin with a short introduction to Ecstatic Dance guidelines and what it can be, a few words to welcome new dancers. A 5-10 minute floor exercise will open the dance, and then there will be no more guiding words.
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.

Ecstatic Dance COMMON Guidelines:
1. We dance barefoot
This allows us to connect more fully with the ground, and keep each others feet safe. If needed wear soft shoes.
2. No talking on the dancefloor.
This makes it easier to be in our bodies rather than our thoughts, and let ourselves be fully absorbed in the dance experience.
3. We get high on the same vibes
No mind-altering substances, including alcohol.
4. We dance off screen
No mobile phones / photo & filming on the dancefloor. (Arrangers will sometimes take photos. No photo where you can be recognized will be published without consent.)
Please be aware :
Ecstatic Dance as well as Ceremonial Cacao can bring us to vulnerable states. Be sensitive when seeking contact, take responsibility for your own yes/no and respect other peoples no.
