About the event
A Journey of Authentic Expression & Embodied Freedom
See below for full event schedule
Adults Only (for our Wednesday night events only)
Ecstatic Dance is a freeform, judgment-free, alcohol-free movement journey. There are no steps to follow, no talking on the dance floor, and no experience needed. You simply move however your body wants, guided by a DJ-curated musical wave that rises, peaks, and softens.
"Let go, Let Flow"
"Be You, Be Free"
EXPANSION Ecstatic Dance Miami is a community dance experience focused on authenticity, presence, and unity.
💫 Why We Dance:
To release.
To remember.
To return home to ourselves.
We’re so excited to announce that EXPANSION Ecstatic Dance Miami is now at one of Miami’s most enchanting spaces – Palapa at Upper Buena Vista, in collaboration with Proyecto Tulum.
Palapa is more than a venue – it’s a portal. As you step inside, you enter a realm of magic: a sanctuary where the city melts away, and nature surrounds you.
A massive banyan tree stretches its branches over the space, holding us in its ancient embrace.
The open-air palapa structure, built entirely of natural materials, radiates harmony and sustainability, reminding us of our deep connection to the Earth.
Every detail feels organic, alive, and in resonance with the values we carry – love, unity, sustainability, and oneness with nature.
✨ Same event. Same flow. Same ritual.🌴 New venue, new realm of magic.
