---

Upcoming launch nights:

📅 Sat 31st May & 28th June

📍 St. Michaels Parish Hall BS2 8BE

🕒 19.00-22.30 

Josh Silver & DJ Amada (Raquel) are excited to be launching a series of new Ecstatic Dance events in central Bristol.

Our intention is to provide an inclusive dance space that welcomes people of all backgrounds and dancing experience aged 18+.

We invite you to come and join us in sober community and express yourself in this wonderful growing movement practice

• No booze: Ecstatic Dance is a drug and alcohol free mindfulness practice
• No shoes: We invite dancers to dance barefoot as it helps us to connect with the ground or with gripped socks/specialised dance shoes
• No chit-chat: Words take us back into our heads! Please join us for the tea social after the dance if you’d like to chat with others
• No tech: We encourage dancers to be present. If you need to use your phone, please do so outside
• Stay dressed: Tops and bottoms on for all genders please
• No fragrances: Please refrain from wearing any fragrances when attending as some dancers may be sensitive/allergic
• Consent & Bounderies: Please be mindful and respectful of the personal space of other dancers in the room. Dancers take full responsibility for communicating their boundaries and expressing their yes’s and no’s in the shared dance space. If you’re unsure it’s a yes, it’s a no!

* What should I wear? Bring clothes that are comfortable to move in. Extra layers are good if you need to keep yourself warm.

*What else should I bring? A reusable bottle for water.

* What is the music like? The music is eclectic, so expect a wide range from ambient, world music, shamanic, tribal, psychedelic, electronica, downtempo, deep/progressive house, techno, psy-trance, tropical, synth pop, roots music, rock, pop and more

* Is there parking? Parking is available outside the venue - just drive up Park Lane to St Michael's Parish Hall (BS2 8BE) and you'll see open gates to your right where the car park is.

Ecstatic Dance is an embodied practice which invites us to connect with ourselves and explore our individuality through free movement. When we allow ourselves to drop into spontaneous movement, we find we can become more aligned with our energy, emotions and spirit.

There’s no right or wrong way to move here. No planned steps. This is a held space to express what’s alive in you, to move how you feel and welcome self discovery.

Many people attend Ecstatic Dance to unwind, release tension, heal, connect with others and be in community.

Josh’s life dream is to bring dance to the collective as a medicine as he truly believes in the healing power of movement and music! A true freedom lover, Josh loves to create dance spaces that are open, deep, grounding and joyful. A double graduate of the “Dance the Medicine” school, Josh has been DJ’ing for over two decades since the days of spinning rave vinyl and involved with Conscious Dance practices since 2015. Josh is also trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and firmly believes in welcoming our parts to the dance.

Josh can be found DJ’ing at various Ecstatic Dance events across the country and is the co-founder of Ecstatic Dance Somerset, founder of Dancing the Elements and holds residencies with Ecstatic Dance Bath and the UK's first in-person Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) retreat held every June in Devon.
