FOLLOW YOUR OWN RHYTHM
in collaboration with Ecstatic Dance Maastricht
A 3-hour consciously guided dance journey in the heart of the night – during the Nederlandse Dansdagen, in the intimate and atmospheric Bankastudios in Maastricht.
L’Okapi Ecstatic Dance is more than movement: it is an invitation to surrender. A safe and sacred space where music, stillness, and motion come together – reconnecting you to your body, your truth, and your connection with others. We dance without words – raw, honest, and free.
This edition is the first of many. Early in the evening. At a turning point of the week. We invite dancers to sink deep into their bodies, open their hearts, and follow their own rhythm – barefoot and fully present.
