Free your body and mind!
Welcome to Ecstatic Dance at Kunsthall Trondheim on Saturday 26 September 2026 and Sunday 1 November 2026 kl 17-19. Experience a free form movement journey that allows you to discover and express your own dance and to be your true self!
You will be gently guided into the dance where you can explore everything from stillness to ecstatic movements in a safe space alone or in interaction with others. Tune in to yourself and the music of DJ Dag Olav, and connect with the rhythms while moving freely. We start and end the session together with a short guided meditation.
Ecstatic Dance is a conscious dance event and a phone-free zone and alcohol and drug-free place.
Doors open kl 16:45 and will be closed by the start of the event. Please bring your own water bottle and feel free to bring your own pillow, blanket or yoga mat to create a little oasis of relaxation for yourself.
Drop-in price: kr. 333/ kr. 222 students (Vipps on arrival)
