Zanubia is one of the first wave of certified Teachers of Amoda’s Method of Ecstatic Trance-Dance and is delighted to introduce it for the first time in Eastbourne.

She has been fascinated by movement and dance since childhood when, like all children she moved joyfully and freely to music. Since then she’s been on a journey of discovery and greater understanding of its pull, becoming evermore aware of the deeply relaxing, liberating and even “ecstatic” states that can be experienced by anyone through free, natural movement and breath, unrestricted by learned steps, techniques or the need to “perform”. This led her to happy and inspiring encounters with Biodanza, Tantric Dance, Gabrielle Roth’s Five Rhythms and most recently Ecstatic Trance-Dance.

She says: “Ecstatic Trance-Dance uses simple breath cycles together with free body movement to relax and energise the body and still the “chattering” mind. The music we use gives a sense of timelessness – yet it’s a modern take on ancestral, shamanic and tribal rhythms common to all humanity. People respond instinctively and naturally to it so a collective “vibe” is created in which individuals can also fully express themselves. This is Nature’s Rave giving us a natural energy “high”!

She very much looks forward to creating workshops and special events that promote ETD and take participants into ever deeper experiences of its benefits.
