Ecstatic Dance & Cacao Ceremony: Portsmouth, NH

  • Barre & Soul 738 Islington Street, Unit A3 Portsmouth United States (map)

Somewhere in the bones of our bones, there is dance.

Not choreography — there are no steps to learn, and there is definitely no way to do it wrong. This dance is the free expression of everything swirling within you, and Ecstatic Dance is the dance floor to set it all free.

This month, we're opening the heart to community & LOVE: we'll be opening with a Cacao Ceremony!

Seacoast Ecstatic Dance is thrilled to welcome DJ BreezyBruce (Bruce Walker) back on an opening set, and Ethan McKenna as our closing soundscape! 

The flow of the night:

6:00pm: Opening Circle & Cacao Ceremony

6:45: Opening DJ set by DJ BreezyBruce

7:45: Free Dance with DJ Ankati

8:45: Live Soundscape by Ethan McKenna & Closing Circle

There are four guidelines.

  1. Consent is the law of the land. Every dancer is welcome to their space; if you want to dance with, hug, or otherwise share contact with someone, get permission first.

  2. No talking on the dance floor; please speak in quiet voices in the Chill Space only, and let the music and movement guide the dance!

  3. No phones on the dance floor, including videos or photos of the dancers. Take this time to engage directly with the world and set your screen aside!

  4. This is a safe, substance-free dance space, and we hold a high value on clarity of presence: please do not arrive intoxicated or partake in substances during the dance. We get naturally ecstatic on the movement, not on alcohol or drugs.
