Over dit evenement
✨ Ecstatic Dance Night for Young Souls ✨
Are you ready to move, connect, and let go? Thanks to an amazing collaboration with the Municipality of Utrecht, we’re breaking barriers and lowering the financial threshold for young people (ages 18–29) to experience the magic of Ecstatic Dance. Join us for a transformative evening where rhythm meets freedom, and movement becomes your voice.
With the municipality's support, we’ve kept costs low without sacrificing the vibrant energy, professional soundscapes, and welcoming vibes you’ve come to expect from Ecstatic Dance.
Feel the beat. Move your body. Free your mind. This is your invitation to experience Ecstatic Dance—a space where you can dance like no one’s watching and connect with yourself and others in an authentic, alcohol and substance-free environment.
We’re creating a night just for you, the young souls who crave freedom and connection. Let go of stress, embrace the music, and lose yourself in the rhythm.
Let’s move together, free and from the heart. No dance experience is needed—just bring your authentic self and an open heart.
We are also open to start and/or end the evening in a co-creative way. Do you have a talent? (For example handpan, guitar, piano: there is one available at the location) Or do you have another creative idea? E-mail us at ed-young@playcommunity.nl

Practical information:
- Please bring your own cup/bottle for the water and tea we will provide.
Even though you can move as freely as you want, there are some guidelines everyone must follow:
- We dance barefoot (or on socks).
- No talking on the dancefloor.
- No alcohol or other substances: We will provide you with as much water and tea as you need.
- No electronic devices: You can store all your devices safely in the dressing room.

This Ecstatic Dance evening is led by a facilitator and DJ who get you—they’re young, like you, and know the importance of keeping things affordable while delivering an unforgettable experience.
About Bart: Bart is dancing Ecstatic Dance for a few years now and has had the dream of facilitating Ecstatic Dance evenings like this one to more young people. For Bart, Ecstatic Dance is a dance meditation and the perfect way to release some stress and negative energy. He hopes more young people can experience the magic of Ecstatic Dance.
About Renee: For Renee, dance is a practice of self-expression, emotional release, and feeling alive. Combined with yoga and meditation, it allows her to come to stillness and move freely at the same time, supporting balance. Through her sets, Renee invites you on a journey of exploration and expression, with a mix of high-energy beats, percussion and world music and slow touching sounds that create a space for you to let go and connect with yourself and the community around you.
