FAQ

It’s a common fear, but the reality is the opposite. We follow a strict « No Judgment » culture. Because everyone is focused on their own internal journey, no one is watching you. We also have a « No Talking » rule on the dance floor, which removes the social pressure of « performing » and allows everyone to feel safe in their own bubble.

While there isn’t a « dance teacher » giving steps, the journey is expertly guided by a Facilitator and a DJ. We start with a « Landing » or « Warm-up » to get into our bodies, followed by an opening circle. The music then builds in waves, allowing you to release tension, and we always finish with a « Savasana » (relaxation) and a closing circle to integrate the experience.

That is perfectly fine. The dance floor is a space for freedom. If at any point you feel overwhelmed or tired, you can sit, stretch, or even lie down on the floor. You are encouraged to listen to your body’s needs above all else.

Talking engages the « rational » part of our brain. By staying silent, we allow the « feeling » part of the brain to take over. This helps you reach a state of « flow » or « ecstasy » (a natural high) much faster. It also prevents the dance floor from becoming a « chat room, » keeping the focus on the music and movement.

Wear anything that allows you to move freely! Leggings, loose pants, or a comfortable T-shirt are perfect. We dance barefoot to feel a better connection with the ground (though socks are okay if you prefer). Just bring a bottle of water and perhaps a warm sweater for the relaxation at the end.

Not at all. While the experience can feel spiritual for some, it is based on the simple, scientific benefits of movement, music, and community. It’s a tool for stress release, physical exercise, and mental clarity. People from all walks of life—doctors, students, parents—join us to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with themselves.

Yes of course, actually many people people do! You’ll find that even if you arrive alone, you’ll feel a deep sense of connection with the group by the end of the session.

Safety is our top priority. Our space is substance-free (no alcohol or drugs), which completely changes the energy compared to a nightclub. The environment is respectful, conscious, and held by a team of facilitators who ensure that the space remains a « sacred container » where everyone’s boundaries are respected.

No, and in fact, most people dance alone. Ecstatic Dance is primarily an internal, personal journey. You will see that the vast majority of dancers stay in their own space, eyes closed or focused inward, exploring their own movement.

However, the floor is also a space for human connection. If you feel a natural impulse to dance with someone else, you are welcome to do so as long as it is consensual. This is usually initiated through clear eye contact or a simple gesture. If someone invites you to dance and you prefer to stay alone, simply bring your hands to your heart (the Namaste gesture) and give a small nod to say, « Thank you, but I’m enjoying my own space right now. » Your boundaries are always respected.

No. Ecstatic Dance is a strictly substance-free environment. We believe in the power of « natural highs » through music and movement. This means no alcohol, no drugs, and no smoking. By staying sober, we create a clear, safe, and authentic space where everyone can fully connect with themselves and others without any external influence. Most people find that the experience is even more intense and liberating when experienced with total clarity!

We understand that life happens. You can request a full refund up to 24 hours before the start of the event. Please note that after this 24-hour window, we are unable to process refunds as the event logistics and facilitator costs are already finalized. If you cannot make it at the last minute, you are always welcome to gift or sell your ticket to a friend!
