🍁 THE LAST LEAVES

As autumn gives way to winter, we're invited to turn inward, slow down and embrace the natural cycles of life. Through a shared journey of music and movement, we'll explore the beauty of things coming to an end. Just like the trees shedding their leaves, this dance is an invitation to shake if off . To allow things to fall away. To loosen our grip on old habits, familiar patterns, expectations or stories we’ve carried for longer than we need to. Make a little space for whatever winter might bring. Come as you are, and let's explore it together.

🌿 WHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE?

A free-form, music-led, conscious movement practise where your body leads, and movement unfolds naturally - no pressure, no performance, no expectation. A live DJ guides the journey, flowing through peaks and valleys of energy, as the music moves from grounding into momentum and back into stillness.

Breathe, listen. Let the music guide you. Move freely, softly, or with fierce vitality. Connect with yourself. Work up a sweat. Get weird. Shake it all out. Go deep. Get silly. Pause. Rest. Simply be. Every choice is held and honoured. This is a shared, immersive journey through sound that carries and supports everyone present. Open to all bodies, all rhythms, all experiences.

Come exactly as you are. The dance will hold it all.

🪩 THE DANCE FLOOR

We’ll gather on the expansive dance floor of the Bingo Hall at Cathays Community Centre 36-38 Cathays Terrace, Cardiff, CF24 4HX (It has its own door entrance the community fridge)

Expect a full, immersive sound experience moving through different rhythms, textures and energies. Space to move. Follow whatever is moving within you and is alive in your body.

Sober. Grounded. Alive.
