Theme: love & sensuality
Welcome to The Dance of Love Day, flooded with love and sensuality!
On the wavy vibrations of the heart medicine Cacao, we dive into a curling, loving, sensual dance journey through Ritual Dance and Ecstatic Dance to end in a ritual dedicated to love.
With authenticity, flow and expression as core values, we would like to invite you into this safe environment, to connect more deeply with yourself and the other, to open and explore the broad spectrum of love and sensuality together through dancing.
The day will be opened by a Cacao Ceremony, in which Kelly takes us on a heart-opening journey to the essence of love. We land in our core and create a flowing, abundant and vibrant field of love to dance and connect in, with ourselves and the other.
From there we are gently transferred into a Ritual Dance journey of the senses. Through sensual suggestions in a safe, demarcated and supported field, Emma and Andrew will seduce us to gently open the body further to different sensations in this sensually flowing field full of dance encounters, dance by dance, song by song.
After a nourishing and connecting afternoon break with potluck, DJ Heidi takes us on a sizzling and undulating Ecstatic Dance journey in which we are invited to a free exploration of the different expressions of love and sensuality.
After all these flows we find the earth again thanks to a Ritual of Love.

***Clothing and guidelines***
On this day of love you are very welcome in your unique sensual outfit. We would like to invite you to feel completely free how you want to dress (nudity is not allowed) and if in doubt to bring different outfits.
We are open to discovering sensuality with others. For us sensuality means opening the senses. We create a safe space to stand with respect and consent first. Sexual acts are certainly not allowed.
***What is Ritual Dance?***
Ritual Dance is a dance experience where we come together in silence. From the silence we go into eye contact with another dancer. Music is the invitation to go into spontaneous, free dance. The concept Ritual Dance is inspired by Ecstatic Dance and Ritual Play.
We only use body language, we leave words behind. We dance barefoot. We only drink water and let ourselves be carried away by the natural flow. There is a demarcated space (the field) and demarcated time (the music), in which we step into the unknown, to authentically follow our impulses in tune with the other.

*** What is Ecstatic Dance***
Ecstatic Dance happens without words. Use your body to fully express yourself. We dance barefoot (soft dance shoes are also allowed). There is a large parquet floor. We like a good sound system, the space is nicely decorated and we provide drinking water and fruit.
A sense of safety is important to us. Solo dancers are completely welcome with us. Do you like to dance in connection with others? Dance together when you both feel a YES. Take care of yourself and respect each other's boundaries. No alcohol and drugs allowed. Taking photos or videos is not allowed.
***Who are we?***
Kelly is a body worker, breathing coach and ceremonial facilitator. She likes to support people in reclaiming their resilience and unfolding in authenticity. Her passion for music, deep deceleration, presence, safety and unconditional love color her work.
Emma is a fiery embodiment of life energy, and that expresses itself through dance. Her flow through Contact Improvisation, Tantra and Ecstatic Dance are the medicines that helped her heal and transform into the driving force behind the Ritual Dance concept. For 5 years, her energy has been dancing through this playful field of connection and healing. It will be a frolicking exploration of boundaries and authenticity, in a safely demarcated and supported field.
Andrew intuitively embodies movement as a key to playfulness, healing, energy, empowerment and love. His passion for bodywork and conscious movement is palpable in his background in contemporary dance, contact improvisation, ecstatic dance, massage and the wide range of sensory experiences of food.
DjHeidi ~ After many years of experiencing ecstatic dance as a dancer - and later also as an organizer - I felt the calling to color the dance floor as a DJ. I love to share gifts with the world through sounds and vibrations, supporting people to dance and express themselves through body language. Rich variations of rhythms such as tribal, classical, retro-house, bass, trance, shamanic tunes, ... Wonderfully traveling through the dance of life.
