Your Dance

Is it time to stop dancing to the rhythm society sets for us? How often do we let the world quietly tell us which steps to take? This evening invites you to return to your most authentic dance. Let the dance within your being come alive again — the one that longs for expression. By moving without instructions and without limits, you slip back into a playful inner child. Drift out of your head and into your body, dancing without worry or overthinking. Stagnant emotions may soften, release, and be processed here, helping you rediscover your own pace and path.

Come and dance your own dance.

The first dance took place on 31 January 2020. Doors open at 18:45, and you are welcome to arrive then. At 19:10, we ask for silence on the dance floor so we can all land together in the space. At 19:30, we open the circle with a sharing round and warm-up, after which the dance journey truly begins. We close the evening around 21:30 with a sharing circle. If you would like to linger and chat a little longer, you are welcome to stay.

The contribution is between 10 and 15 euros. Water, tea, and fruit are included. We meet you exactly where you are, in this present moment.

Ecstatic Dance Evolution™ is part of a global movement dedicated to free, conscious, and transformative dance. We welcome people of all ages and experience levels. These evenings are alcohol- and drug-free, free from chatter and judgment, and danced barefoot. Together, we create a sacred, safe, and inclusive space. Our intention is to cultivate vitality, inspiration, passion, freedom, joy, and authenticity.

What can you expect?

You may choose to dance alone, with a partner, in a group, or as a quiet witness. The environment is non-verbal, so your dance is never interrupted by conversation. Together, we enjoy a safe space to express our true selves. We build a relationship rooted in respect, mindfulness, and kindness.

Leave your shoes at the door.

Welcome home. Relax and unwind. Dancing barefoot helps us stay grounded and allows the body to stretch naturally.

Breathe in fresh energy.

Take time to be aware in your body. How does your body feel today? Notice where you are in the space. Feel your breath and let the music move you.

You are the dance.

We dance as if no one is watching, to beautiful music. There is no teacher and no fixed choreography. You are free to move according to the wisdom of your body and your intuition.

Enjoy the music.

The DJs of EDEN carefully create unique musical journeys to support your transformation. This journey nourishes our human need for expression on a physical, mental, energetic, emotional, and spiritual level.

About the facilitator.

Hanne Van Bosstraeten discovered the path of free dance during her yoga training in Costa Rica. Intuitive dance gave her a new way to connect with herself and others, and to respond to deep needs for healing and presence. These dance evenings are her way of sharing the joy and power of dance with the world.

Hanne is a certified facilitator for Ecstatic Dance Evolution, a Hatha yoga teacher, and a children’s yoga teacher.
