Ecstatic Dance Arnhem | DJ Shanto & Ceremony

Ecstatic Dance Arnhem with DJ Shanto

At the beautiful dancehall MFC Klarendal


ABOUT DJ SHANTO
He would not say it about himself: Shanto is iconic for Ecstatic Dance.
Musical mystic, visionary and inspiration for so many. When Shanto is not at the feet of his teacher, we mostly see him behind the turntables conveying his love for music. In his sets, he manages to weave a wide variety of genres into one to leave the dancer in a pleasant stupor.
Shanto was the first DJ who brought Ecstatic Dance to the Netherlands and made it a huge success at his Club Lite in Amsterdam. It triggered a dance wave far beyond the country's borders and can be experienced at more than 100 venues in the Netherlands alone. As a DJ, he has played in places as diverse as Barcelona, Moscow and Bali.
Shanto is also the organiser and DJ of Nataraj, the largest barefoot party in the Netherlands with which he has been travelling the country for 20 years. Its summer beach parties are legendary.

ABOUT ECSTATIC DANCE ARNHEM
Since 2019 Ecstatic Dance Arnhem is an invitation to move your body with the highest degree of freedom grounding in the present moment. Ecstatic Dance works without expectations and judgement. The music takes you on a journey to your natural higher self without taking substances. If you love to move and get unstuck our 200+qm professional barefoot-dance floor is waiting for you on Friday the 22nd of March with DJ Shanto at dancehall MFC Klarendal next to Huis van Puck in Arnhem, entrance at Verlengde Hoflaan 107. Two hours of dance are connecting you to your creative space of inner inspiration and intuition and to other people.


THE TEAM
Our team of volunteers values consciousness, connection, inclusion and light-heartedness. Creating and holding a safe space we welcome you on our dance floor where every body is welcome – sober, silent and without the distraction of your phone. Our focus is on the music journey so that you dance your happy feat, sweating and unleashing the magic you are born to be. As soon as you enter the space you are a co-creater of a culture of support, inclusion and trust looking for consent and care where we look out for each other.
