Ecstatic Dance is a practice of movement and free flowing dance that integrates emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing. We embark on a movement journey allowing moments of gentle flow, natural rhythm, release, elation, stillness and reflection. When we move, we can quiet the mind and innately embody the rhythm of the music, freeing our selves and opening us to new perspectives. There are no steps to follow, just your own feet and your own heartbeat. There will be moments of guided meditation and others where you can deep dive into the music.

☀️ We dance from 18:55-21:00 at St James' Church, Community Hall, Pokesdown Hill, Christchurch Road, Pokesdown, Bournemouth BH7 6DW.

DJ Motion (Nick Windsor)

Transformative sound journeys, weaving global rhythms with embodied movement to awaken freedom, play, and connection.

Movement, energy, and flow have always been at the heart of Nick's life — from snowboarding and windsurfing to running and dance. As DJ Motion, he brings that same embodied connection into each sound journey, weaving rhythms that invite freedom, play, and presence. His sets draw on global sounds and ancestral beats, blending familiar grooves with unexpected treasures that awaken new movement in the body. Each journey is crafted to guide the room through waves of energy, from grounded stillness into ecstatic release, always returning to connection and integration.

ABOUT JUDEZ SUNFIRE Judez has a background in drama, dance, voice, and breathwork modalities. Conscious dance has been an inspirational part of her life. Her vision is to create safe spaces of free expression, conscious movement to release, receive, embrace and heal, as well as revel in the joy of the dance. She is a conscious and ecstatic dance facilitator and DJ.

SUNFIRE DANCE

SunFire Dance offer Ecstatic and Conscious Dance events in Dorset. Judez was inspired to start her Movement Meditations, Beach, Forest and Celtic Calendar Conscious Dances, and this has grown to include Ecstatic Dance in Wimborne at Gaunts House and The Neptune Harvester.

There is something magical about coming together in community, whether it be dancing on the beach under the luminous full moon or in the crisp morning air watching the sunrise, gathering around a fire in community and sharing a conscious dance. It is always a special event.

Sun - born in the place of the Sun. Invite a ray of sunshine and light into your life. No matter how dark, cold, frozen or bleak life may seem. Move and ignite your passions.

Fire - it only takes a spark to get the creative fire burning. Fire can also burn away the old, that which no longer serves us. Out of the embers, new shoots and regrowth can form to transmute it into new life, new hope, a new dawn for you. Fire for warmth, for life, for nourishment

Dance - dance to move energy, dance to energise, dance when filled with sorrow, dance when filled with joy, dance to connect with others, dance to connect with self, dance your journey, dance of life.
