A 120 min DJ-facilitated dance Journey to a varied mix of music.Dance in a safe space to free your mind and body and feel a part of it all.
Tayphoon’s Ecstatic Dance journeys are inspired by his Turkish heritage and his love for ethnic bass music from all around the world. The dancers are invited to flow with energetic waves, which start in a meditative state and build up to an ecstatic outburst in which he invites the inner wild animal to be expressed and natural ecstasy to be experienced.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He guides the dancers through warm middle eastern melodies, bouncy ethno beats, powerful tribal rhythms and cheeky psy bass drops. His sets incorporate a wide range of genres which welcome the dancers to reconnect with their light and their shadow and all the abundant flavors of emotion.

___________________________
The word ‘Ecstatic’ comes from Greek ‘ek’ (out) and ‘sta’ (to stand) and can be taken to mean ‘to stand outside of oneself’. Ecstatic Dance is way of getting out of your mind for a while and into your body.
Most English language dictionaries define ‘ ecstatic’ as “feeling or expressing overwhelming happiness or joyful excitement”. Ecstatic Dance is actually a way to practice welcoming ALL emotions and giving them physical expression.
No shoes, no booze, no chit-chat! At Ecstatic Dance Bern we provide a safe substance free space to dance freely without words.
Doors open and music begins at 19:30 PM. At 20:00 PM there is a guided warm-up followed by free dance alone or together with others, in whatever way the music moves you.
