Brought to you by Ecstatic Dance London - pioneers of Ecstatic Dance in the UK since 2009. We love to dance. We love music. We love creating spaces for inspiration, connection, healing and transformation.

The outdoor dance space is secluded, natural and beautifully wild. Please note: this is not a manicured lawn or polished festival site... It’s a chance to immerse yourself in nature, move with the elements, and enjoy the raw beauty of dancing outdoors.

This is a unique sober outdoor dance experience in London.

Ecstatic Dance Guidelines:

No alcohol. No drugs. No smoking. No shoes. No phones. No chit-chat on the dancefloor.

Move however you wish. Respect yourself, others, and the space.

Please remember: this is an Ecstatic Dance class, not a party. If you’re coming with friends, please make sure they understand the nature of Ecstatic Dance and the guidelines before booking.

Before & after the dance, we gather for a relaxed picnic social... a chance to connect, share food, enjoy the evening!

No dance experience needed. All welcome. Limited spaces - online registration only.
