Do you love to move your body freely to juicy music? Or would you like to fall in love with it? August 30th, IONSTRØM will be your DJ, and we are looking forward to bring you a life confirming, and very happy to offer a Saturday evening event for a classic party vibe!
Some warmup exercises will be facilitated by Grundstoff and the DJ set will be surrounded by some live music elements, TBA later. 🩷🎶🩷 Grundstoff will provide the Ceremonial Cacao, lightly spiced up with vanilla, ginger and Blue Lotus.
Keep your eyes open for posts and updates as we are currently working with some new inspiration. Date, time & place is rock solid though!
💜💜
This event is an invitation to approach dance as a moving meditation , as a way to sweat your prayers and celebrate being alive, with all that it brings! 🔥
Have you ever been longing for a dancefloor where you can set yourself free to dance as if no one is watching, and where everyone else is doing it too? A dancefloor with a high and clear vibe - no alcohol, no small talk, no smartphones, no shoes. Just a crowd of people moving their bodies for the pure enjoyment of it, for the therapy, the medicine, the pleasure.
Whatever mood you might be in when you arrive, let it move. There is no agenda and nothing you can do wrong in your way of dancing. It is a potential self-healing place, a potential meditation in motion - or you might simply just like to move your body in a room with other dancers. Come and be free to move as YOU!
Please invite your friends - They will love it, you will love it, we will love it!!

THE MUSIC:
The DJs intention is to create a smooth wave with great variety, for you to experience yourself and your moving body in different ways, a multicolor journey with room for many aspects of being human.
In Ecstatic Dance with Grundstoff & Ionstrøm, you will always start out slow and sensitive, building intensity and landing back into slow at the end.
In between, you will experience a variety of emotional and energetic landscapes; playful, light, heavy, blissful, aggressive, breathtaking, disturbing, sexual, melancholic, soft, fast, slow. 🪐
We have a deep love for electronic music, and we also love the organic elements; beautiful voices, violins, saxophones, percussion, hang drums. Expect tunes and voices from south america, balkan, spain, scandinavia & india.
Expect swing discoteque, movie soundtrack, cirkus music and psytrance. Expect singing bowls, wobble base and traditional bulgarian choirs. It will all be weaved seamlessly together in a flow that feels smooth and inviting.
The DJ set will sometimes be accompanied with live instruments, and the event is started and rounded off in an acoustic soundscape.
CEREMONIAL CACAO:
We will offer Ceremonial Cacao as a supplement to the dance. You can choose a dance ticket with cacao or without.
Ceremonial Cacao can enhance your dance, energize the body and connect you more deeply with yourself and others. It's soft yet deep, supporting you to tap into your full potential on the dancefloor.
This gentle medicine works with your natural energy, guiding you to greater ecstasy while keeping you grounded. 🌏
Blue Lotus is a sweet and subtle flower, often associated with the 3rd eye. It goes super well along with the cacao.
GOOD TO BRING:
* A water bottle!
* Dry clothes for after the event – we intend to make you sweaty
* Your own cup for cacao – lets save single use materials
THE PROGRAM:
We begin with a short introduction to Ecstatic Dance guidelines and a few words to welcome new dancers. A 5-10 minute floor exercise will open the dance, and then there will be no more guiding words.
Our style of holding space is very non-invasive - there is nothing you have to do, be or believe. We aim to create a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere, while still holding a safe container.
Every expression is welcome. Floor crawling, shaking, large movements, stillness - follow your body. Dance alone or dance together, move as you please between these elements and more.
The general Ecstatic Dance guidelines apply – see the end of the page.

YOUR HOSTS:
Grundstoff & Ionstrøm are living together as life mates since 2011, working and creating together.
Sandra Grundstoff has 30+ years background with facilitating yoga, meditation and free dance. As a DJ, she has been active in Copenhagen conscious scene since 2016. She has a down-to-earth approach, aiming to hold an accepting space that is both free and safe, where the music and your own body is the guide.
Chrell Ionstrøm Kemnitz is a talented jack-of many-instruments, yoga teacher and massage therapist since 30+ years and a multi-faceted body artist - fire staff dance, slackline, fencing and street performance - to mention some. With his DJ debut in 2021, he has a natural sense for teasing bodies to move. When he is not on the decks, he brings the acoustic atmosphere to the room.
Next to us, we have a lovely team of helpers and musicians without whom we could not make this happen. Love you all!!
ECSTATIC DANCE COMMON Guidelines:
1. We dance barefoot
This allows us to connect more fully with the ground, and keep each others feet safe. If unsuitable, please wear soft shoes, no hard heels.
2. We dance without talking
This makes it easier to be in our bodies rather than our thoughts, and to let others be fully absorbed in their dance experience. No verbal instruction from the facilitators, no conversations on the dancefloor.
3. We get high on the same vibes
No mind altering substances including alcohol.
4. We dance off screen
No mobile phones / photo & filming on the dancefloor. (Please note: Organizers & team will sometimes take photos or video for advertising purposes. No photo where you can be recognized will be published without consent.)
5. We look for consent before touching others
Ecstatic Dance as well as Ceremonial Cacao can bring us to vulnerable states. Be attentive and look for consent before initiating physical contact.
Take responsibility for your own yes/no and respect the (verbal or non verbal) no of others. Own your experience and create the best possible evening for all.
NOTICE:
No ticket refunds. You can search to sell your ticket to another dancer in the fb event page. The transfer can be easily done via Billetto. Be aware of fake fb profiles pretending to sell tickets.
Notice: when you want to announce your ticket sale on FB, the last 2-3 hours up to the event, we are super busy and might not be able to log in and accept your post.
