"When we let go of fears, judgements, self doubt, expectations, conditionings, pressures, worries and stress, and open our mind to being in free movement… stepping into the present moment... immersed in magnificent music and positive, uplifting energy... in playful harmony with life… in the flow on the wings of love… this is how it feels like…"

Description:

Join us on Saturday, July 25th, at 7 PM for our next Ecstatic Dance Immersion—an evening of connection, soul embodiment, ecstatic dance, aquatic healing, and a crystal sound bath.

Through Yoga & Contact Improv, Ecstatic Dance, Aquatic Healingwork, intimate connection practices, and Sound Healing, we gather to move beneath the surface—awakening our presence in our bodies and truth in our hearts.

As we gather in the days leading up to the Full Moon in Aquarius, we are invited to embrace our authentic selves, celebrate our uniqueness, and deepen our connection with one another. Aquarius reminds us that true freedom comes from expressing who we are without fear, while recognizing that we are all part of something greater than ourselves. It is a time to break free from old patterns, open to new possibilities, and allow our individuality to enrich the collective.

Our dance becomes our medicine. A space to shake off what feels heavy, to move stagnant energy, and to reconnect with a sense of openness, possibility, and aliveness. The dance floor becomes a field of expression where joy, release, and truth can coexist—where the mind softens and the body leads. As we move, we access the deeper intelligence within us—where insight, healing, and transformation arise naturally through motion and presence.

Each breath becomes an opening. Each movement an expression. The dance becomes a journey of embodyment - returning us to a deeper sense of freedom, clarity, and embodied truth.

After the dance, we transition into a deeply restorative Aquatic Rebirthing Experience (introduction to Watsu) in our pristine heated saltwater pool. Floating in warm water beneath the summer night sky, the intensity of movement softens into integration. The nervous system unwinds. The heart opens. The body lets go. In the gentle embrace of water, movement becomes stillness, and expansion settles into a profound sense of peace.

We close the evening with a crystal sound bath, allowing the vibrations of the bowls to support relaxation, integration, and a gentle return from the journey. Resting in stillness, we give ourselves space to absorb the experience and carry its gifts into the days ahead.

Our Pool:

Our heated salt water, ozone and UV light sterilized pool has no additional chlorine added. The water salt concentration is similar to a saline solution and 1/10 of ocean water. The water temperature is kept at 95 degrees, similar to our body temperature, which allows our nervous system to relax on a much deeper level since it doesn't need to compensate to heat or cool our bodies. Our pool provides the ideal conditions for a truly regenerative experience back the womb.

What is Aquatic Rebirthing (an introduction to Aquatic Healingwork & Watsu)?

In this session we’ll explore being therapeutically floated weightless in warm water, with the instruction of a trained Aquatic Therapist, with the intention of achieving profound levels of relaxation in the person receiving it.

We’ll divide our group into couples where the receiver is continuously supported while being back-floated, rhythmically cradled, moved, stretched, and massaged. This is a deeply nurturing and healing modality which resembles our familiar and intimate experience of being held as an infant, floating weightless, in the total safety of our mother’s womb. The end result of this experience is the feeling of total liberation and Bliss. To learn more about Watsu® and Aquatic healing work go to www.watsumiami.com

Why Ecstatic Dance and how is it different from other regular dances?

Ecstatic Dance is not just about moving to music—it’s a transformational practice of self-discovery, embodiment, and liberation. Unlike traditional dance forms that focus on structured steps, performance, or external validation, Ecstatic Dance invites you to move freely and intuitively, allowing your body to express itself without judgment or inhibition.

It is a space where movement becomes meditation, a journey inward to connect with your most authentic and radiant self. Here, the dance floor is not a stage—it is a sacred container for emotional release, self-exploration, and energetic transformation.

Through dynamic interactions with music and others, we learn to listen to our bodies, awaken dormant energies, and transcend limitations. We use the rhythm to channel our emotions, desires, and attractions—not to suppress them, but to harness them as fuel for expansion and growth.

Ecstatic Dance is about raw, unfiltered expression, a space where movement is a language that speaks from the heart and soul. It’s not about how you look—it’s about how you feel. It’s not about performing—it’s about being.

In this shared energy, we shed layers of conditioning, break through mental barriers, and step into a state of pure presence, connection, and bliss. Through this journey, we don’t just dance—we transform.

At Ecstatic Dance Miami, we embrace our desires and attractions as powerful sources of energy for transformation. Instead of seeking externally, we turn inward—fully witnessing our inner world in its raw, unfiltered authenticity. Through movement, we shift our awareness away from mental chatter and into the sensations, emotions, and energy within, allowing the music and our interactions to awaken, amplify, and channel our life force into a deeper state of embodiment, truth, and flow.

This practice is a tantric journey of energetic transformation, guiding us to raise the life force from our root to our crown, igniting an inner fire that clears blockages, releases emotional restrictions, and dissolves attachments. We dance not just for expression, but as a sacred cleansing ritual, allowing our being to become an empty vessel, free of burdens—where only BLISS & LOVE remain.
