Ecstatic
Dance
How it started
Growing up in Iran, dancing was considered something feminine, and for a man in that culture, expressing any form of femininity was not accepted—much like how being bisexual, for example, was viewed as a death sentence. I found myself producing music for others to dance to, but I was frozen, unable to dance myself. Even in Europe, at festivals or parties, I would simply watch others move freely, especially at conscious festivals, feeling disconnected and sad that I couldn’t move with them.
Two years ago, I discovered 5 Rhythms and Ecstatic Dance. Suddenly, it felt like an open door. For the first time, I wasn’t worried about how others would perceive my dancing or if I looked “good.” I felt the safety of a community where no one judged how you moved. I closed my eyes, and a journey of self-discovery through my body began.
I am so grateful for this experience, and I want to invite you to join me on this journey—let’s dance together.
Events
I am the founder of Ecstatic Dance Göttingen and the resident DJ. I regularly open spaces for gatherings, cacao ceremonies, breathwork sessions, and more. I invite talented musicians, DJs, artists, and healers to join our community and share their magic with us.
Please feel welcome to join one of our sessions—move, breathe, and explore yourself in a safe, supportive space. I look forward to sharing this experience with you!
