Our students say:

I just finished the DJ training with DTM; having experienced such a wonderfully supportive container, I knew I had to continue learning with them. The Leadership Training was filled with so much wisdom and goodness. It was a journey imbued with ceremony, beauty and ritual, all in a well thought out flow. It strengthened my foundation to launch my dance projects! Any of Dance The Medicine's offerings will set you off with an enriched toolbox and a heart full of joy and warmth for everything shared.

This track came as a seed from our Dance The Medicine alumni music sharing group 🌱

Our community was looking to share tracks to open and close ecstatic dance sets. Shoutout to Frank and @brunayme for this one! Described as helping dancers let go of the mental and preparing the body for the dance, this track is is perfect for setting the space.

In fact, @bernice_raabis just played @ecstaticdance.marseille and used this track both in opening and closing. Talk about a full circle journey! ✨

This one comes from @solrising who plays magical ecstatic dances. Love to see producers in this space!

This ecstatic dance track of the week comes from our Dance The Medicine music sharing community!

It’s described on Bandcamp as “A smooth sailing track with variations of Berimbau, that create a trance like vibe when combined with harmonic flutes. This creates the perfect accompaniment as your musical ship illuminates with the sunrise. Underneath, a strong percussion beat brings everything together; a perfect late night track” 🌀

#dj #ecstaticdance #conscious #embodiment #dancethemedicine

Letting go, becoming the music and the dance, meeting yourself in presence, and finding freedom.

This is some of the medicine of a conscious dance practice.

Additionally, when we experience ecstatic dance as a community on the dance floor, we allow ourselves to be witnessed in everything that arises, whether it is emotions, discomfort, or expansion. To be held in community in our rawness of expression can be so rare in modern times, and we believe that community witness is so healing.

At Dance The Medicine, we want to support you in holding space for transformative dance floors, which starts with your own journey into embodiment and authenticity.

Train with us and join our global community:

“Embodiment means unifying our experience, integrating the knowing of minds with the knowing of our bodies.” -Mary Gelinas

Embodiment education is at the core of what we do. No matter if you study with us online or in person, we will support you to integrate your technical learning through your body. In fact, our trainings are more than learning to DJ or facilitate. They are a personal journey of deepening into your authentic self while being supported by an amazing group of humans.

Ecstatic dance DJing goes beyond knowing your way around the software and the hardware. It’s about feeling and knowing the music through your body, trusting your body to tell you what music should be included, how it should be played, and how you should weave it together to create a powerful dance journey for those on the dance floor. We will support you in developing your intuitive creativity, so you can magical play sets with confidence.

We teach DJing for dancers, and we would love to be a part of your journey. There is still time to join our upcoming online Ecstatic DJ School cohort, which begins November 20th. The next in person opportunity will be November 2025 in Portugal 🎧

As always, the link to learn more is in our bio, but we would love to connect with you personally. Just send us a message or leave us a comment!
