Free your body and mind!
With DJ Hi-Lo and dance artist Anna Thu Schmidt

Welcome to Ecstatic Dance at Havet - a free form movement journey that allows you to discover and express your own dance and to be your true self! 
You will gently be 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 into yourself and into the music played by DJ Hi-Lo and connect with the rhythms while moving freely. We start and end each session with a guided meditation and sharing circle. Ecstatic Dance at Havet is a conscious dance event for all ages and a alcohol and drug-free place.
