Over dit evenement
Ecstatic dance is spreading its wings and new formats are coming up everywhere. This is our version of an Ecstatic Rave and we are would like to invite you!
We mix the beauty of Ecstatic Dance with a lot more techno, tribal beats, drum & base, psytrance and trance frequencies. Overall, the energy of the music is higher compared to a dance.
This evening is a great opportunity to let go what needs to go, express yourself and everything that currently moves you.
No substances and no dance experience needed: Just your energy and presence.
Why 'young'?
We find that there is a special energy when many young people come together. Our intention is not to exclude anyone, but to intentionally create a space where younger people can connect, express themselves, and share this unique atmosphere.
It is important to us to create this alternative to the mainstream night life scene, make it accessible for younger people and spread the love!
We are young people, collaborating with young people for young people. Supporting each other with our resources <3

About DJ B.Art (Bart): “My philosophy around Ecstatics is to craft an intentional journey. Every journey tells a different story, and every journey can be embodied in the dancers own, unique, way. During this journey I invite the dancer to explore their authentic self-expression through movement, sound and to be with whatever arises in the moment. Come explore with me, together as one!
During the rave you can expect a musical adventure that carries you through a lot of highs and also some lows, inspired by nature, rooted in a tribal base and infused with sounds and styles that wander across the globe."

About Pia: "Dancing is one of my main ways to express myself freely and I absolutely love it. I am in awe of these sober spaces and the energy that can be created in the field. What a blessing to bring these spaces to you and enjoy them with you! I love to facilitate spaces that are felt, lived and honest."
