get out of your mind and into your body.
ecstatic dance is a freeform dance, movement and music journey. it combines meditation, (self-) connection, self-love, embodiment and community. the hosts and DJs guide us through different phases - a welcome & explanation, a slow grounding, a rising energy phase, an ecstatic peak, then a wind-down and finally stillness. plus a closing. you move (or don’t), feel, smile, cry, jump, sing, scream...or just meditate, observing what’s happening inside of you. you decide; your body knows best what she or he needs.
just one dance of 90 minutes per week can drastically change someone’s (mental) health & life!
slow, rising, ecstatic, calm down, then integration.
a few suggestions.
the better you adhere to these, the more powerful your experience of self-connection.
three steps
sign up
grab your spot for this Sunday. limited spots.
find your dance spot, at home
find a little space where you feel safe to let go.
press join, close your eyes
there will be an opening and explanation and then the journey starts. for all of us at the same time.
the freedom of being unseen.
there is no video, ever. nobody sees you. we want to feel safe. and go inwards. and feel. the least distraction we have, amongst others visually, the more successful our self-connection and journey inwards is. our whole community dances together, but each of us on our own. the collective is there, but it’s our own path.
three ways in. limited spots.

everything you might be wondering.
what do I need to join?
just a phone, tablet, or laptop - and ideally headphones (a loudspeaker works too). plus a little space to move in and somewhere you feel safe to let go. that’s it. no equipment, no experience, no dance skill.
do I have to be on camera?
no - and that’s the whole point. there is no video, ever. nobody sees you. you are completely free to move, cry, sing, or lie still, without a single person watching. it’s just you and the music. with our whole community doing the same thing at the same moment.
I can’t really dance. is this for me?
yes. this isn’t about dancing well, or dancing at all. you can sway, walk, shake, jump, sit on the floor, or lie down. your body knows what it needs - the only job is to let it move how it wants and get out of your own head.
what dance style do I dance?
there is no specific dance style. the hosts and djs will explain that in the beginning. but in general: you move how you feel. sometimes you might not move at all and just breathe, sometimes you might feel to move slowly, sometimes faster. it’s your journey and there are no dance styles. you can do anything.
what actually happens in a dance?
one continuous ~90-minute journey, guided by music and sometimes a few words from the host. it starts slow and grounding, builds and rises, reaches an ecstatic peak where you can really let go, then comes back down to stillness - a shavasana rest on the floor. no alcohol, no drugs. just you, sober and awake in your body.
what if strong emotions come up?
they’re welcome. people laugh, cry, shake, release. that’s not a side effect - it’s often the whole gift. whatever moves through you - joy, sadness, anger, relief - you’re allowed to feel it here. (this is a space for release, not a substitute for therapy or medical care.)
can I join from my phone?
yes. it works in any browser on your phone, tablet, or computer - just put your headphones in or connect your speaker(s) and press play. you can lock your phone and keep dancing.
is it recorded? can I do it later?
no - WeDance is live. the magic is that our whole community is moving together in the same moment, once a week. you show up, or you catch the next one.
how much does it cost?
$15 if you book more than 48 hours ahead, $19 in the 48h before the dance. or $39/month (was $59) for unlimited Sunday dances. buying for friends? group tickets save you up to 25%. arrive through a friend’s link and you get 10% off. and if you share your own link, friends get 10% off while you earn 20% - up to ~$7 every month - on everyone who joins through it.
can I get a refund?
tickets and subscription payments aren’t refundable. a subscription you can cancel anytime though - it just won’t renew, and you keep access until the end of the month you’ve already paid for.
who chooses the music? is it licensed?
each dance is led by a host DJ who curates the whole journey and is responsible for the music they play. WeDance is the space that brings everyone together.
why I made WeDance.
for years I only felt comfortable dancing with alcohol; and thus was never really present. back then in mexico, a friend convinced me to try ecstatic dancing and wow, the first minutes felt soooo weird and awkward. to be honest, that was a representation of my life: I was not free, I felt pressure to “perform” and I cared way too much what other people think of me.
until I closed my eyes and allowed myself to feel and to not care what other people think of me (because others usually don’t care anyway; but my mind and ego told me to do so). tears came, sadness, joy, anger...so many emotions.
today, people know me as the guy who dances with a smile, sometimes jumps around like a monkey and looks very connected to himself.
WeDance is my vision to help more people to have access to this beautiful healing modality - and to make it possible from anywhere. you don’t need a venue, a scene, or the courage to walk into a room. you just need your headphones or a speaker and 90 minutes of time - time you gift yourself in an act of self-love. no camera, so no one sees you. alone in our own homes, but moving with the other dancers together at the same moment.
looking forward to seeing you online. I’ll be there on the other end of the music.
