Ecstatic Dance

Ecstatic dance is a freeform, meditative dance practice where participants move instinctively to rhythmic music, allowing the body to express itself without judgment or choreography. It blends music, movement, and mindfulness, creating a space for emotional release, deep connection, and self-exploration. Rooted in ancient traditions, ecstatic dance is a powerful way to experience flow, joy, and liberation, fostering a sense of unity between mind, body, and spirit.

About Primal Flow

Primal Flow is an Ecstatic Dance DJ and facilitator whose heart-centered approach to music and movement creates unforgettable and transformative experiences. Born in the vibrant city of Mumbai, India, on January 10, 1987, and raised in the UK, he embodies a unique blend of Indian and English heritage. Growing up surrounded by a treasure trove of musical instruments, vinyl records, CDs, and cassette tapes, thanks to his father, a self-taught multi-instrumentalist, Primal Flow's lifelong love for music was ignited early on. This passion evolved into a deep understanding of music as a powerful medium for connection, healing, and upliftment. Music has always been an integral and inseparable part of Primal Flow’s journey. He has attended countless concerts and music festivals and remains a devoted attendee of the legendary Boom Festival in Portugal, where he has participated for eight consecutive years. His adventurous spirit and eclectic taste are the foundation of his DJ sets, which are anything but predictable. Seamlessly blending genres and tempos, he takes dancers on a playful, transformative journey filled with surprises and unexpected sonic twists. Primal Flow's genre-spanning sets effortlessly combine electronic and organic sounds, including deep house, jazz, indian and western classical, ambient, spiritual and devotional music, drum and bass, trap, melodic techno, progressive psytrance, funk and soul, afrobeats, disco, edm, folk and folktronica, celtic rhythms, dubstep, indie, classic rock, psybient, post-rock, meditative soundscapes, instrumental pieces, and acapella tracks. His genre-bending approach transcends boundaries and invites dancers to connect with the universal language of music and movement. What truly sets Primal Flow apart is the deep spiritual essence he brings to every set. As a spiritual devotee of Santosh Sachdeva, an Indian spiritual guru from an ancient Tibetan lineage, and with almost 25 years of meditation practice and training in various healing modalities, Primal Flow approaches Ecstatic Dance as a sacred somatic journey. His intention is always to create and hold a space for dancers to connect deeply with themselves and each other, unlocking a profound sense of liberation, joy, and renewal through embodied conscious connection with rhythm and sound. As the co-founder of The Integral Space in Mumbai, a vibrant center for wellness and holistic healing, since 2008, he has also been a multidisciplinary therapist, healer, and counselor, drawing from a wide array of therapeutic modalities. This training allows him to intuitively hold space for profound emotional release, introspection, and transformation during his sound journeys and healing sessions. Primal Flow hosts regular Ecstatic Dance sessions at The Integral Space, where he intuitively guides participants through sound journeys, weaving moments of energetic release with introspection and stillness. His deep sensitivity and loving presence create a safe and nurturing environment where dancers feel free to express themselves authentically and connect with their inner essence. Primal Flow’s ancestry reflects a rich legacy of service, spirituality, and transformation. His great-great-grandfather, Pranjivan Mehta, was a mentor, friend, and secret benefactor to Mahatma Gandhi, while his great-grandfather, Manilal Doctor, followed Gandhi’s footsteps, working tirelessly to liberate Indians from indentured labor across the globe. This lineage inspires Primal Flow's mission to use music and dance as tools for healing, empowerment, and positive transformation. The name Primal Flow captures his artistic essence and mission. Primal symbolizes our original, natural, and innate state, while Flow embodies the effortless rhythm of life. Together, they represent a return to authenticity—a state of being that he aims to evoke through his music and facilitation. Primal Flow believes that "Movement is Medicine." His lifelong commitment to sharing the transformative power of Ecstatic Dance is a calling he intends to fulfill for the rest of his life. Through his joyful and soulful sound journeys, he invites dancers to rediscover their innate flow, connect with their primal essence, and celebrate the sacred beauty of life through the universal language of rhythm and movement. Whether you're seeking healing, joy, or a deeper connection to yourself and the world around you, Primal Flow's dance floor is an invitation to come home to yourself—one beat, one breath, and one liberated movement at a time.

  • What happens in Ecstatic Dance?
    A musical wave helps facilitate that journey. Each week features a new soundscape of free-form ecstatic dance. It is lightly facilitated with invitations to explore movement through specific body areas and larger themes. The music starts and ends slowly, with an up-tempo, joyful peak. Talking on the dance floor is replaced by physical, emotional, and occasional verbal expression. Conversations happen outside the dance space. At the end, a closing circle allows one-way shares of experiences and feelings.
  • What are the Guidelines of Ecstatic Dance?
    No intoxicants. No shoes. No talking in the dance space. No phones (photography/videography). Listen to your body. Respect boundaries—be aware of your personal space and others. Explore the space. Breathe. You don`t have to dance or do anything you don`t want to.
  • What is Ecstatic Dance?
    Ecstatic dance is a form of free-form movement that allows individuals to express themselves through spontaneous and uninhibited dance. It is a modern form of an ancient tribal, shamanic, and spiritual practice that has existed globally in indigenous cultures for thousands of years. In its simplest definition, it is free-form movement inspired by music. We allow our bodies to move freely without judgment or concern for the "grace" or beauty of the dance. This dance is an inner/outer journey of moving meditation.
  • Who is Ecstatic Dance for?
    This is a non-alcoholic, all-ages event open to all variations of physical abilities. No dance experience or partner is necessary. It’s a perfect outlet for those who think they "can’t dance" and for experienced dancers alike. It is free-form, not a structured dance, and not a social dance. It is a safe environment to dance without outside observers or conversation. Much of the time, it is simply an open dance floor for you to explore different rhythms, patterns of movement, and your inner journey.
  • Come experience it for yourself!
    We believe Ecstatic Dance is a safe and sacred space for positive intentions, authentic connection, healing, and spiritual exploration. Each session features a unique live DJ mix of uplifting, transformational music. We invite you to share your presence in the spirit of dance and celebration—to connect with yourself and others, open your heart and mind, enjoy music, feel alive, and have fun!
