Ecstatic Dance SW Dance Freely. Live Fully. Ecstatic Dance SW is a space to come home to yourself through movement, music and community. Our evening begins with ceremonial cacao - a gentle invitation to arrive, open the heart, and settle into the body. We then journey into the dance, led by a live DJ set, guided by world music that flows across genres. A space to move freely, release and reconnect with your most alive self. After the dance, we’ll gather over nourishing curry, herbal teas and community connection to softly land together. What is Ecstatic Dance?

About Your Hosts Ecstatic Dance SW is lovingly created and held by Elissia and Shaun. The pair first met five years ago during a Yin Yoga Teacher Training, but it was their shared love of sober dance, conscious community and music-led healing spaces that truly brought them together. What began as friendship gradually unfolded into love, with ecstatic dance becoming a meaningful part of both of their journeys. Elissia grew up in Cornwall and Shaun grew up in Lyme Regis. Although they both spent the last 10 years living in London, the South West has always remained home in their hearts. Over the years, ecstatic dance became a regular source of release, connection, joy and medicine for them both - spaces where they could move freely, reconnect with themselves and celebrate life beyond alcohol and traditional nightlife culture. Now it feels deeply special for them to be bringing these experiences, along with their love of music and cacao, back to the South West and building community together through movement, music and community. Their intention with Ecstatic Dance SW is to create welcoming spaces where people can come exactly as they are - to dance, release, connect, feel, celebrate and fully embrace the beauty, aliveness and the full-spectrum of being human.
