Using unique rhythms, Trance Dance takes participants on a transformative Inner Journey. Ritual trance travel has always been a living part of shamanic and eastern cultures that have existed for thousands of years. The modern approach to Trance Dance combines the richness of ancient rituals with modern, extremely effective techniques.
Trance is about letting go of everything you see, hear, and feel. Experiencing this will open access to spaces within you that you know nothing about. And that's what trans is.
One of the oldest and easiest ways to experience healing states is trance dance. Blindfolded, using the energizing breath technique (Breath of Fire), the Inner Journey begins.
"Close your eyes, put on a blindfold, focus on your intention, start breathing fire, move to the beat of the music - this is how you enter a trance...". Alert, aware and awake, and yet - in the vast inner space where the laws of physics no longer apply - you can meet wild animals, spirits, angels, spiritual allies, healers and Guides... You can meet other beings, find yourself in forest or mountains, in your past or future...
Trust your body, allow yourself to move and express your body - and when the trance ends, you will be calm, full of energy and richer for many impressions..
Trance dancing is one of the oldest ways to reconnect with your inner forces - an empowering, uplifting and energizing experience. It's a great way to get out of old habits and look at your life in a different way.
Dance/trance with eyes closed creates a different focus. The energy that we normally use to look, to gain approval, to try to connect with others, is to look inward, to open up to our emotions and memories. The TranceDance approach is the opposite of traditional dance - there are no steps to learn, no special clothes (except those that are as comfortable as possible). Instead, try to let go of control, let your body move to the rhythm of your inner Power.
Trance Dance is an intercultural phenomenon. The cultures of all continents on our planet have created unique dance forms based on contact with the animal world and elements of nature present in their surroundings. The purpose of such a dance was to connect with the spirit of the sun, moon, spirits of various animals and plants. People believed that through dance rituals, the spirits residing within nature could enhance qualities such as courage, compassion, and bring insights about the future.
Trance dance is primarily focused on the healing process and spiritual development. Through dancing in the dark, participants discover parallel worlds where they find solutions to problems previously experienced as unsolvable.
During the Trance Dance we disappear, we become like ghosts and at the same time we become less attached to the difficulties encountered in everyday life, which means that we can free ourselves from them.
From the very beginning of recorded history, we find evidence of dance. It seems that our original relationship to dance involved worship and healing. Animistic cultures saw nature and all its manifestations as an expression of Spirit. Copying or imitating nature through movement and sound has been a powerful and effective tool to help connect with spirit. This was the beginning of the dance. For thousands of years, spiritual dances have been used to maintain and improve our relationship with the Earth. The imitation of nature in the dance helped to tune in with the vibration of the creator. Dance was synonymous with what we call prayer, worship, and when practiced regularly, it provided physical health and vitality.
"The Dancer Belongs to the Spirit"
In addition, dance was the gateway to the soul or "inner spirit", so to dance in a trance state meant to come into contact with spiritual forces that heal. This is the 'shamanic' perspective on the Trance Dance experience.
