WE dance every month at Manly
Imagine to feel a total freedom. On the dance floor and beyond. In the times where parties and events became a polished, perfectly planned occasions where everyone wants to behave their best, we missed that authentic, raw feeling of dancing. Take it as a therapy, as a shake off of your problems, as pure fun and joy of movement... the experience is all yours. Move wildly, without boundaries, move through the space and move how it feels good. Get back to the roots. Ecstatic Dance is the only place where people are dancing. Like we mean really dancing! Join the tribe.
"Dance is the answer
Because when you dance, and you really get into the dance
You lose yourself, you lose your personality
You forget your name, you forget your job, you forget your status
You forget your future, you forget your past
What you're involved in is the now
And the now is blissful
The now is really an amazing experience"
Raja Ram
What to expect
Ecstatic Dance might feel a little bit different from normal party, but the foundations are the very same. In short - we play, you dance 🙂
But... You have more space to move and express yourself. There is no judgement, no ego. You can dance absolutely free - you might be a little bit shy or too much aware what others are doing but when you finally let go and move how you really want, the feeling is extremely uplifting and blissful.
You are in the moment and in the flow.
You don't need any substances to be extremely high.
All you need is dance and be true to yourself.
We also start and finish with tribe circle, where we talk about dance and other things going on that evening like mocktail & elixir bar or activity stalls. It's also a great time to share your toughts and feelings with others if you feel like it.
This is how we feel connected. This is our tribe.
"dance like no one is watching"
The dj
Yurai is experienced Dj with more than 20 years behind the decks. Coming from Slovakia - the heart of Europe, he is a multigenre wizard who loves everything that is driving, melodic and emotional.
Originaly coming from Trance parties and underground clubs, it was time for him to move on and co-create the event which is much deeper than any regular party can be.
Ecstatic Dance on his terms is 1.5hr sonic journey going from slow and deep rhythms into tribal inspired House and more energetic Psy Trance tunes. But really there's no boundaries. You can caught yourself dancing to orchestral symphony and 10 minutes after on driving Tech House.
Everything mixed as a journey that will lead you into the ultimate freedom.
"It makes you feel alive"
The drummer
Drums are the beating heart of Epicure, it's what it bring it to life. Adding layer of rhythm and live element.
Also of importance historically when the drums were the only way to keep the rhythm and sometime they were the only instrument playing.
Deeply captivating, the repetitive sound could lead to Trance like sensations, where you feel in the flow.
We can't simply imagine Epicure without them and we are very proud that our drummer is a master at his craft - Matej.
A passionate and skilled musician who don't take any break during the dance - and that is so special because playing drums is incredibly physical and damaging for the fingers.
So the next time you see Matej, say hello. He is introverted but will appreciate you! 🙂
