On a mission to create a global movement of ecstatic dance! Join Dan and Renée Lacroix, the original founder of Ecstatic Dance UK (EDUK), one of the key movers in Ecstatic Dance Lisboa and the founder of Ecstatic Experiences, as they dive into the rapidly growing world of conscious dance. Renée shares the origins of EDUK as the UK’s only morning ecstatic dance at the time, highlighting its accessibility as an unguided, free-form practice open to all walks of life. Renée talks about how she came to Ecstatic Dance via a somewhat unusual path and how she is now dedicated to growing the publics connection with it.

They also dive into…

• All things naming your dance and whether the very term "Ecstatic Dance" can be misleading, despite its established status.
• EDUK’s commitment to inclusivity through tiered pricing, concession rates, and volunteer opportunities and how we forge real communities in a world that is financially driven
• The difference in dance culture between the UK and Portugal.
• Training to be an ecstatic dance facilitator and why it involves wearing so many different hats
• The importance of maintaining strict "no phones" and "no talking" rules on the dance floor.
• Advice for terrified newcomers who are anxious about dancing!
