In conjunction with the Mental Health Community Coalition ACT we will be running a FREE all ages ecstatic dance event!
If you've ever been curious to test the waters but haven't made it to one of our dances, no is your chance to do so :)
Bring your friends, bring your family and experience the joy and expansion of free movement practice, where your body can take the lead and your mind can take a back seat. Open to all ages and abilities, the only requirement is an open mind and a curious attitude.
You can expect eclectic EDM music, weaving together electronica, organic house, downtempo grooves, melodic techno, lush bass, and drum & bass beats.
Facilitator:
Marisa is a DJ and events extraordinaire, with 20+ years experience organising and programming festivals and events. With a keen ear for diverse music which transcends genres, Marisa loves to curate community gatherings to inspire, connect people, and get them authentically moving their bodies.
Arrive at the Ainslie Main Hall 3:55 pm for a for a 4:00 pm start

This dance is an alcohol-free event / LGBTQI friendly/ all ages.
Once the music has begun, we encourage you to keep talking to a minimum so that everyone can enjoy the embodiment!
ABOUT US:
The Canberra Ecstatic Dance Collective monthly dance offering is a safe and supportive space to express, release, and experience joy through movement.
Each dance has a different theme and a different facilitator, BUT every dance will be a safe space to explore movement within a dynamic dance community.
MORE ABOUT THE DANCE:
These dances are lovingly curated to take you on a journey which peaks and brings you gently back down again. The purpose of this dance is to simply let go and let your body move you.
You may find yourself focusing on one part of your body, wanting to connect your body with the floor, or dance with another person (consensually!) You may wish to sit out or lie down and rest. You may feel emotion moving through you.
Whatever is intrinsically and authentically emerging from within is what we are opening up to and creating space for. Uninhibited movement is encouraged, whilst being respectful of others in the space.
