Somatic Tribal Ecstatic Dance Gent - Every Thursday

**Welcome Home**

Step into a warm and welcoming community where **movement, connection, and freedom** come together.

Our unique dance experience blends **Somatic Dance**, **Ecstatic Dance**, and **Tantric Dance** into one inspiring journey. A space where you are invited to slow down, reconnect with your body, move freely, and experience authentic connection—with yourself and with others.

There is no choreography, no pressure to perform, and no dance experience required. All you need is curiosity and a willingness to explore.

Throughout the evening, we start with an intro focused on somatic movement to first make connection with our internal landscapes within before connecting with others and the group. Where the intro ends the dance begins with a beautiful DJ set. When some processes arise after the dance, we are available to listen and hold space for whoeever needs it, we belief in aftercare and that dancing can release emotions. Of course it's also your responsibility to regulate your own emotions during the dance. We are here whenever you need it.

This is more than a dance event. It is a place where you can simply be yourself and where strangers become friends in a beautiful community.

Where you can release, recharge, and come home to your body.

We believe genuine connection begins when everyone feels safe, welcomed, and accepted. That's why we cultivate a warm, inclusive, and low-threshold community where everyone—regardless of age, background, or dance experience—is invited to join.
