Sometimes you have to let your hair down and just let the body do it's thing. Every song represents an energy in life. How will you meet the energy? Transition with mindful awareness and creativity through all the songs. Don't just check out and stop at the country song. Express how that music makes you feel. Move freely! Every song unlocks a code in your heart, body and mind.  You just need to be present and move your body.

LET LOOSE! UNTANGLE THE KNOTS.

This Ecstatic Dance soundscape is a water medicine ceremony for dancing your prayers to.  Meant to evoke the energy of bioluminescence.  Something that really resonates with me about it, is that the magic of it is that it can only be revealed in the darkness.  So jump in, swim, float, go with the flow, go deep, and find solace in the return to the shores where the water meets the earth.

Bioluminescence Ecstatic Dance Night Swim

This is the DJ assisted part of an ecstatic dance journey I co-created in live performance with a group of percussionists. I loved the challenge of finding tracks and putting them together in such a way so that the percussionists had the aural space to support the dance pretty much all the way through - including two longer solo parts we built in that are unfortunately not included in the recording. It was much fun for all who were there.

February RtR was one of the most challenging events I have ever hosted so far!

I had the intention to hold a space in honour of Black History Month and practice giving a bit of voice to the part of me that is disturbed by witnessing injustice and suppression. On the same night, there was another event happening, which resulted in very few people signing up for RtR to the point that I did consider cancelling the event. After sharing my concerns with my mentor and teacher, Bettina Rothe, I decided to keep the dance floor open, and show up for my practice, the practice of being a space holder no matter what… Many thanks to those who joined the dance floor and those who didn’t, that was a powerful resilient experience. 

The dance took place on the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Rings of Saturn - Ecstatic Dance Wave- RtR - February 22, 2024

🇧🇷 Um set elaborado para conduzir uma cerimônia com cacau e ecstatic dance. Esse set é mais do que um set pra mim, é uma libertação de vozes, de idéias, de feminilidade, de conexão, de vontades, ele é um movimento para todos nós. É só o primeiro de muitos.. aproveitem a jornada sonora, libertem também a dança, e me contem o que acharam.

🔥A palavra "ecstatic" em inglês significa extasiado, em êxtase, refletindo o objetivo dessa prática de dança e estilo musical, que é induzir a um estado de alegria, liberdade e conexão. Durante uma sessão de Ecstatic Dance, quem participa é convidado a explorar uma variedade de ritmos musicais, desde batidas mais intensas até melodias suaves, irá depender do contexto e de quem está guiando a jornada, permitindo movimentos intuitivos de acordo com a música e convocando a uma total entrega livre de aditivos, em silêncio, apreciando olhares, toques, cheiros, uma experiência sensorial completa.

Esses eventos muitas vezes ocorrem em ambientes inclusivos, onde a ênfase está na celebração da liberdade de expressão individual, na conexão com os outros presentes e na criação de uma atmosfera de comunidade positiva e inclusiva. O Ecstatic Dance não é apenas uma dança, mas também uma experiência espiritual e emocional que visa promover o bem-estar e a liberdade criativa.

Eventos de Ecstatic dance e principalmente que envolvem o Cacau não envolvem álcool, são eventos conscientes, sustentáveis e com entrega limpa e profunda entre corpo-mente-espírito.

🇬🇧 A set entirely crafted to conduct a ceremony with cacao and ecstatic dance. This set is more than just a set for me, it's a liberation of voices, ideas, femininity, connection, and desires; it's a movement for all of us. It's only the first of many... Enjoy the sonic journey, unleash the dance as well, and let me know what you FELT.
.
💞The term "Ecstatic Dance" refers to a style of free and connected dance, performed at specific events or gatherings. It's an experience where everyone is encouraged to express themselves freely through movement.

🔥The word ecstatic reflect the goal of this dance practice and musical style, which is to induce a state of joy, freedom, and connection. During an Ecstatic Dance session, participants are invited to explore a variety of musical rhythms, from intense beats to gentle melodies, depending on the context and who is guiding the journey, allowing for intuitive movements according to the music and calling for total surrender free of additives, in silence, enjoying deep eye looks, gentle touches, smells, a complete sensory experience if we surrender.

These events often take place in inclusive environments, where the emphasis is on celebrating individual expression, connecting with others present, and creating an atmosphere of positive and inclusive community. Ecstatic Dance is not just a dance but also a spiritual and emotional experience aimed at promoting well-being and creative freedom.

Ecstatic dance events, especially those involving Cacao, do not involve alcohol; they are conscious, sustainable events with a clean and profound delivery between body-mind-spirit.

Blessings, ligh, love and dance!

Curiosity is the spice of life. Are you curious about your body? About your creativity? About how your body moves in space? Are you curious about how energy moves when you meet the mood of music? If you don't activate your physicality, the body never wakes up. In order to be free, one must be curious about where the body gets stuck so keep moving and exploring the mystery of consciousness through movement and expression!

CURIOSITY

This Ecstatic Dance Journey is about navigating changes and transitions.  Tapping into the power of dance to remind us of our resiliency, creativity, and the wisdom of the heart to help guide us through these very dense and heavy times of so much change on this planet.  🌎

LIFE & DEATH

🌑 Ecstatic Dance Eclipse – 432 Hz Activation Set 🔥

A transformational dance set tuned to the cosmos.

This set was born from a moment of release—a sacred surrender on the dance floor beneath the light of the solar eclipse. In that moment, I let go of what no longer served me. I danced into the unknown. And I emerged reborn.

Tuned to 432 Hz, this set carries the frequency of harmony, healing, and heart. I layered in subtle elements of 777 Hz harmonics and wove each phase of the ecstatic dance structure into a living, breathing ritual.

But what makes this moment special is the astrological fire of now:

Neptune in Aries (2025–2039)
🔥 Neptune, the planet of dreams and the subconscious, has moved into Aries, the sign of fire, courage, and new beginnings.
This energy dissolves old identities, pushes us into the unknown, and calls us to embody our highest visions—with fire in our hearts and movement in our bodies.
This set captures that moment of emergence.

🌀 Set Structure – Your Journey Through Sound
Arrival & Grounding (20-30 min) – Ambient, breath-infused textures open the field

Meditative Drop-In (10-15 min) – Ethereal melodies hold space for intention

Build-Up (30 min) – Organic house, Afro grooves, and sacred bass awaken the body

Peak (10-15 min) – A full-body firestorm with trance, techno & elemental force

Come Down (20 min) – Emotional release, deep house & future garage

Closing Soundscape (10-15 min) – Binaural stillness & heart coherence

🧘‍♂️ How to Listen + Dance Tips
🔊 Use headphones or good speakers—this is a journey, not a playlist.

🕯️ Light a candle. Set an intention.

🌬️ Start with deep breath. Drop in.

🕺 Let your body tell your story. No right way. No wrong way. Just truth.

💦 Allow tears, laughter, wildness, stillness. Let it all come. Let it all go.

🕊️ Mantra for the Journey
"I release what no longer serves. I rise in fire and freedom. I dance into the light of who I truly am."

Eclipse Embodiment – Ecstatic Dance in 432 Hz

This was an amazing night at Val-David people where in fire and so is this mix ;)

Live at OnDanse FireDance - Val-David - April 2025

Nataraj (sometimes spelled Nataraja) is a Sanskrit word composed of two parts:

"Nata" (नट) – means dancer or actor.

"Raja" (राज) – means king or lord.

So, Nataraj (नटराज) literally means "Lord of the Dance."

Nataraj is rich in symbolic meaning related to time, transformation, and the interplay of stillness and movement.  

Nataraj, my Dharma Brother this is my Balkan offering to you! Enjoy!

Nataraj - Beloved Balkan

Aim for excellence and integration of mind and body! 

Perfection is about flawlessness. It chases an unattainable ideal where nothing is ever wrong, and there's often fear or rigidity underneath — a need to control, impress, or avoid failure. Perfection says, "It must be without error, or it's worthless."

Excellence is about mastery. It strives for the best possible outcome while accepting that growth includes mistakes, adaptation, and learning. Excellence says, "I will give my best and refine with each step."

In short: Perfection is static and impossible. Excellence is dynamic and human. So don't try to be perfect. Just move your body with imperfection. That is the dance!

Excellence

I am fabio, aka ronin, an ecstatic dance dj and facilitator, a transpersonal counselor and educator. As a dj, I played hip hop and black music in clubs and gigs for many years, taking part to national and international scratch and dj contests, also playing with several hip hop artists on stage. When I met the transformative and healing power of sound, of music, of vibration and of conscious dance and movement, I deepened this contact by studying and practicing transpersonal psychology, shamanism, native and indigenous cultures, expecially the Afro-brazilian tradition. Now I play to blend this vision into music, proposing and organizing ecstatic dance in Italy.
