Divinity Dance also known as Chackradance, Ecstatic dance etc is a free-form dance practice where participants can gather to dance to music without the need of following the instructions of a leader.

Ecstatic dance is not a New Age practice. It is around since ancient times and has been practiced for centuries.

In English and Celtic folklore, fairy rings were caused by fairies or elves dancing in a circle.

The Benefits of Divinity Dance

Participants may abandon themselves to the rhythm and move freely as the music takes them, sometimes leading to a feeling of a trance like state or feelings of ecstasy.

Many dancers find that ecstatic dance brings them into a deep, meditative state, fully living in the present moment.

Through movement, we can get in touch with, explore, and express her emotions. This helps release trauma that’s imprinted in the mind and, as a result, experienced in the body and nervous system.
