🔥 About Ecstatic Dance
Ecstatic Dance is a community gathering that encourages freedom and expression through dance. Join us and experience a safe and inspiring space to dance without talking, alcohol consumption or the general nightclub vibe. This is about self-expression, freeing your body and mind, and connecting with yourself and those around you.
Ecstatic Dance empowers people from all walks of life to freely express themselves, regardless of shape, size or background. The liberating atmosphere creates a melting pot of acceptance, while the fearlessness with which people move gives newcomers the courage to dance without inhibition.
🔥 About Cacao Ceremony
Cacao is the fruit of the Theobroma tree before it is processed into chocolate. It is one of the richest foods in magnesium supporting heart health, optimal brain health, relaxing the nervous system, joints and muscles.
It stimulates blood flow, while also creating relaxation and gently opens the heart.
This beautiful duality of feeling awake and energized while feeling carefree and open is the gift of Cacao that supports the Ecstatic Dance atmosphere which encourages freedom and expression through dance.
💥 About Contact Improvisation
Contact is more of a movement experience involving the body and mind in interaction with other people than a dance technique or form. It began to be developed in the early 1970s by charismatic dancers, scholars, and one might say, scientists and philosophers, of movement and life, such as Steve Paxton, Nita Little, Daniel Lepkoff, Nancy
Starksmith..

💥 Σχετικά με τον Ecstatic Dance
Το Ecstatic Dance είναι ενας διαλοισμός μεσα απο τον χορό που ενθαρρύνει την ελευθερία και την έκφραση. Ελάτε μαζί μας και ζήστε έναν ασφαλή και εμπνευσμένο χώρο για χορό χωρίς λόγια, ουσίες ( αλκοόλ κτλ ) και χορεύοντας ξυπόλιτοι.
Πρόκειται για την αυτοέκφραση, την απελευθέρωση του σώματος και του μυαλού σας και τη σύνδεση με τον εαυτό σας και τους γύρω σας.
Το Ecstatic Dance δίνει τη δυνατότητα στους ανθρώπους από όλα τα κοινωνικά στρώματα να εκφράζονται ελεύθερα, ανεξάρτητα από το σχήμα, το μέγεθος ή το υπόβαθρο.
💥 Σχετικά με το Cacao Ceremony
Το κακάο είναι ο καρπός του δέντρου Theobroma πριν μετατραπεί σε σοκολάτα. Είναι μια από τις πιο πλούσιες τροφές σε μαγνήσιο που υποστηρίζει την υγεία της καρδιάς, τη βέλτιστη υγεία του εγκεφάλου, χαλαρώνει το νευρικό σύστημα, τις αρθρώσεις και τους μυς.
Διεγείρει τη ροή του αίματος, ενώ παράλληλα δημιουργεί χαλάρωση και ανοίγει απαλά την καρδιά.
Αυτή η όμορφη δυαδικότητα του να αισθάνεσαι ξύπνιος και γεμάτος ενέργεια ενώ νιώθεις ξέγνοιαστος και ανοιχτός είναι το δώρο του κακάο που υποστηρίζει την ατμόσφαιρα Ecstatic Dance που ενθαρρύνει την ελευθερία και την έκφραση μέσω του χορού.
💥 Σχετικά το Contact Improvisation
Το Contact αποτελεί περισσότερο μια εμπειρία κίνησης στην οποία συμμετέχει το σώμα και ο νους σε αλληλεπίδραση με άλλους ανθρώπους παρά μία τεχνική ή φόρμα χορού. Ξεκίνησε να αναπτύσσεται στις αρχές της δεκαετίας του 1970 από χαρισματικούς χορευτές, μελετητές και θα μπορούσε να πεί κανείς, επιστήμονες και φιλοσόφους, της κίνησης και της ζωής, όπως ο Steve Paxton, Nita Little, Daniel Lepkoff, Nancy
Starksmith..
