- **Event Description**: Enter into Easter with intention. Dance your way out of a cave? Or in. You decide.About this EventAbout the EventOnce upon a time, dancing on Good Friday was forbidden. We are of the view that dance belongs, as a communal way for a deeper experience of life.This year, we’re offering a space for reflection, exploration, release and renewal. Forbidden is a special Dance gathering back at The loft — an invitation to move and connect with yourself and others through music and movement. No choreography, no talking on the dancefloor, just a shared journey through music.Everyone is welcome.No experience needed.Just bring yourself.We gather again at The Loft, Folkestone’s new space, for embodied movement and stillness.Arrive: 6:45 PM fo 7 PMArrive and settle into the spaceOpening circle and warm up games with SashaLive DJ set with AndréClosing circle and gathering with soft drinks and home made snackA space to move, breathe, play and reconnect.What is Ecstatic Dance?Ecstatic Dance is a free-form, alcohol-free movement journey guided entirely by music.No choreography.
