Boulder Ecstatic Dance · B.E.D. · Every Sunday · Boulder, CO
Find your people.
Ecstatic dance is freeform, sober movement. No choreography, no judgment, pure improv and co-creation. An intentionally curated sonic journey, an intentionally held container, and a community that knows how to throw down.
Every Sunday night we gather at either the Avalon Ballroom or Nevei Kodesh (once a month). A full evening that begins with our signature Dance Lab, moves into Opening Circle, and culminates in a deep ecstatic dance soundscape journey led by world-class DJs and artists.
Beyond our weekly dance, we produce special events throughout the year from: Halloween, NYE, mini-festivals, breathwork journeys, and collaborations with touring artists.
Come early. Settle into the space. Drop the day. Set your intention.
Our signature offering. Dance Lab is a co-created exploration designed to build a core resonance — the collective alive-ness that makes the ecstatic dance that follows feel like flight. Expect dance games, contact improvisation, connection exercises, and playful attunement. This is the foundation for the community dance many of us are craving.
Accessible for all levels · No experience neededWe gather, we land together, we acknowledge the space we've built and the journey ahead.
The main course. Our artist takes us on a full soundscape journey — from tender opening to thunderous peak to soft, luminous landing. This is the freeform, permission-filled dance space where you get to be exactly who you are.
A space for individuals to share, express, and be seen by the community. The closing chapter of the evening — held, witnessed, complete.

We curate artists who understand the arc of a dance journey — the whisper of opening, the thunder of peak, and the tender landing home. Over 130 artists have led our floor across 2.5+ years of weekly gatherings.
And many more — our full artist family:
Beyond our weekly dance, we produce full-scale events — mini-festivals, breathwork & cacao journeys, seasonal celebrations, and touring artist collaborations. B.E.D. brings the same container, the same love, and a whole lot more.
