Get Moving Get Dancing Get Healing

Dance Medicine is inspired by the Ecstatic Dance Movement, which has grown in popularity over the last decade across the world. Taking inspiration from a dance movement that brings people together to dance in community we created our first regular event in Glastonbury Avalon, UK 2016

We create events of Dance Journeys with specialised DJ’s

With a background in contemporary dance and over five years of experience observing and participating in Ecstatic Dance events, the founder discovered the profound healing power of dance. When people are given the freedom to move and are guided by the transformative skills of Dance Journey DJs, dance becomes more than expression—it becomes therapy. Regardless of age or physical ability, dancing offers countless benefits. These guided journeys create a safe and empowering space to explore emotions, release tension, manifest intentions, deepen self-awareness, and ultimately reconnect with joy and well-being
