Question 1

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Come in clothing that feels comfortable and allows you to move with ease. Soft, breathable fabrics often work best. Many people enjoy dancing barefoot as it helps them feel grounded and connected to the floor. If you need extra warmth or support, you are welcome to wear comfortable socks.

Question 2

Do I need any dance experience?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. This is not a dance class and there are no steps to learn. The invitation is simply to listen to your body and move in whatever way feels natural for you. Everyone’s expression is different, and all forms of movement are welcome.

Question 3

Can I come alone?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many people arrive on their own and quickly discover a sense of community here. Whether you come with friends or by yourself, you will be welcomed into the shared space we create together.

Question 4

Is it okay to talk during the dance?

Accepted Answer

To help everyone drop more deeply into the experience, we keep the dance floor as a space of silence. This allows the body and music to guide the connection. If you need to speak with someone, we invite you to step outside the dance area.

Question 5

Can I dance with others?

Accepted Answer

Yes, shared movement can be a beautiful part of the experience. If you feel called to connect, we encourage beginning with eye contact or a simple gesture and sensing whether the other person is open. Respecting each other’s boundaries helps keep the space safe and comfortable for everyone.

Question 6

Do I have to dance the whole time?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. You are welcome to move, rest, sit, stretch, or simply observe whenever your body asks for it. Listening to your own rhythm is an important part of the practice.

Question 7

Is the event substance-free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We hold this space as alcohol- and substance-free so that everyone can arrive clear, present, and grounded. This helps create a supportive environment where people feel safe to explore movement and connection.

Question 8

Can I use my phone or take photos?

Accepted Answer

To protect the privacy and presence of everyone in the room, we ask that phones and cameras remain put away during the dance. This helps maintain an atmosphere of trust and immersion.

Question 9

What if I feel shy or unsure?

Accepted Answer

That is completely natural. Many people feel this way when they first arrive. There is no expectation to perform or move in a certain way. You are welcome to take your time, breathe, observe, and slowly find your own rhythm.

Question 10

What should I bring?

Accepted Answer

A water bottle is always a good idea, as dancing can be energizing. You may also want to bring comfortable layers to stay warm before or after the dance.

Question 11

What if I can’t make it to the event after buying a ticket?

Accepted Answer

We are not able to offer refunds. However, you are welcome to transfer your ticket. You can gift it to a friend — they can simply share your name at the door. If you would prefer to move your ticket to a future event, please send us an email 24 hours in advance: ecstaticpeople26@gmail.com

Question 12

Can I give my ticket to someone else?

Accepted Answer

Yes, of course. If you are unable to come, you are welcome to pass your ticket on to a friend. They can simply mention your name when arriving at the door.

Question 13

Is there parking nearby?

Accepted Answer

Because the venue is very close to Cais do Sodré Station, we gently encourage everyone to come by public transportation if possible.
If you are arriving by car, please allow some to find parking. A reliable option nearby is the parking garage in Baixa-Chiado location:https://maps.app.goo.gl/5PBMVPN

Question 14

Why is this event different from other Ecstatic Dance events?

Accepted Answer

Our intention is to create a gentle, intimate and heart-centered space. We’re cultivating a safe, welcoming house-party atmosphere where everyone can relax, feel at home, and connect — not only through dance, but also in simple, genuine moments with the beautiful souls around us.
