RAPTURE - High Energy Ecstatic Dance

RAPTURE is a conscious dance club fusion - gathering the energy usually spared for the peak of the ecstatic dance wave and give it to you in bucket loads! The phat tunes that have you punching the air, jumping, whooping and whirling …. as well as enough of those that bring you back down to earth afterwards and soothe your soul.

Expect deep, dirty bass including electro house, tribal house, hard techno, bass house, indie dance and Goa trance to name a few genres.

Expect to dance free from expectation or judgement – move your body however you wish. Expect to sweat. Expect to enjoy yourself … a lot.

After gathering together in the opening circle to begin as a group, you then have the rest of the session uninterrupted to guide your own experience. You choose if you dance alone, with others, take a break or go full pelt. There will be a sound journey at the end of the dance with live musicians ( 15 minutes ) Afterwards cosy up over a cup of tea and socialise with your fellow dancers.

100% substance free. Be yourself, express yourself freely and get high on your body’s own natural supply. This is about freeing your mind and body,connecting with yourself and those around you and dancing your dance. No booze,no shoes and no chit-chat on the dance floor helps us keep it intentional.

RAPTURE dance is not offered as a therapy…… although you may find that as well as sweating, smiling, free moving, stomping and being danced, that something inside you shifts and you will most probably leave feeling a lot lighter and much rejuvenated!

No experience is needed, only a willingness to allow the music to guide you into an experience of your own personal aliveness and passion.
