ECSTATIC DANCE DJ TRAINING

Awaken your sound and spirit in a 7-day music journey by the cliffs of Uluwatu, Bali

March 29 - April 4, 2026

What is an Embodied DJ Training?

This DJ Training goes far beyond just the technical skills of mixing tracks and operating equipment—it’s about creating a profound connection between the music, your body, and the dance floor.

Unlike a traditional DJ training that focuses more on technique and pleasing a crowd through the mind— this Embodied approach focuses on helping you to feel the music even deeper in your body, understanding both the physical and emotional flow of a dance floor, and developing the confidence to share the music that YOU love in true authenticity.

When these pieces all come together, we can move bodies, hearts and souls to create truely transformative journey's through sound.

This is for YOU if...

You just love music, and you're ready to learn how to share it powerfully with the world.
You feel super inspired, but all the equipment and buttons feel overwhelming and far too complicated.
You have some musical experience, and are ready to finally live your vision of blending instruments or vocals with DJing, and start sharing your unique sound.
You're tired of playing small, and now is your time to become a leader and express yourself more fully.
You understand the transformative and healing power of Ecstatic Dance, and just need the confidence, practice and tools to implement it.
