what is ecstatic dance?
Ecstatic dance is a unique free-form movement practice that fosters self-expression and a deep connection to music in a non-judgmental, inclusive setting. Unlike traditional dances, it encourages participants to dance freely, guided by the music and their emotions, promoting inner exploration, healing, creativity, and spontaneity. No experience is necessary—come as you are and let the music move you!
Benefits of Ecstatic Dance
Participating in ecstatic dance is a transformative experience that offers a multitude of benefits, including:
Physical healing
Boost cardiovascular fitness while also enhancing your flexibility, mobility, and coordination through dynamic movements that stretch and strengthen various muscle groups. You will also release stagnant or trapped energy, restoring the movement of qi throughout the body.
increase Confidence and self-awareness
Gain a deeper connection with yourself and recognize your strength and power. You will start to care less about what others think of you and feel more comfortable in your body, embracing your authentic self unapologetically.
Improve sleep quality and lucid dream
The physical exertion, the removal of stagnant energy and negative thoughts, and the release of endorphins can heal insomnia and improve overall sleep quality. People have also reported lucid dreaming up to a week after an ecstatic dance event.
emotional healing
Safely explore and process difficult emotions, releasing lower-vibrational ones that may be stuck. This practice can help you let go of distressing thoughts, heal your inner child, and even connect to a trance-like state of theta brain waves, boosting your feel-good endorphins.
Increase connection with others
Make friends and connect with like-minded individuals on a deeper level, giving you feelings of belonging and community. Your vulnerability also allows you to share your true self, forming more intimate bonds with friends, partners, or new acquaintances.
increase creativity
Unlock your creative potential by breaking free from conventional thought patterns. When you allow new ideas to flow freely, you give space for more innovation and imagination. Your intuition, memory, and learning may also be enhanced.

DJ Lionaura's Bio
%20(3).jpg)
As a lioness of sound, I create powerful, transformative experiences through my curated sets. My performances are not just about the music—they’re about guiding people to connect with their bodies, release pent-up emotions, and experience the freedom of movement. I tap into the energy of the crowd like a lioness in tune with her pride, allowing participants to feel grounded, free, and fully present with their bodies.
My DJ sets blend organic, downtempo beats with tribal rhythms, funk, ethereal melodies, and deep house vibes. I love to tune into the energy of the crowd, flowing from blissful, soothing tunes to heart-pounding drops. My aim is to create a safe space where participants can release stagnant energy and trapped emotions, freeing their bodies and minds for a meditative, transformative experience.
