The beauty of this however is that you can really go at your own pace, and if you are juggling many aspects of your life, you can carve out the time whenever you can.
“The Ecstatic Awakening Dance Facilitators training with Rebecca was amazing. I truly feel it has ignited a change within me at a profoundly deep level and I am excited to see where this change takes me. I have practiced other forms of ecstatic dance for over ten years, but had never previously experienced this depth of transformation. Rebecca’s holding and delivery of the training created a beautifully safe and contained space - imbued with her warmth, humour and generosity, it was a central element to the success and depth of the training. I would recommend anybody that is considering it to go ahead ; it will free and enrich you on so many different levels. “
“Taking this training was a leap of faith for me. I trust my gut and after scouring the pages of the School of Ecstatic Movement website, and chatting to Rebecca, I knew it was for me. I jumped fully in. Everything from the course content, structure, layout, tech and delivery was flawless. I felt safe and supported throughout the entire experience and came out the end chomping at the bit to get going. I am a yoga teacher trainer myself and I know that the safe, easy, non-judgemental space that Rebecca creates and maintains ONLY comes from both years experience and a lifetime of self-practice and self-work. There really isn’t one thing I would change or improve and I know that if I did, I would be heard and respected with it. If you feel that sharing the healing and transformative magic of dance is YOUR calling, then listen to that call. The world needs us, especially right now.”
“I’ve always thought for any kind of training to get the best possible one in that business –and this course has been exactly that - both transformational and amazing! Rebecca is a very generous and knowledgeable teacher, she is very supportive and non-judgmental. The depth of the course is second to none, there’s plenty of discussion time, also self-improvement exercises to do outside of the classroom. After going through my own emotional journeys along the way, I now feel equipped to hold the space to allow others to do the same. The icing on the cake was meeting up with everyone I’d met on the Greece Retreat. “
"Ecstatic Awakening Dance has been a bit of a life changer for me! People say it's a journey, talk of 'inner peace', but having taken 9 months to dedicate to myself, to shake and move my limbs, I now feel ALIVE, probably for the first time in over 30 years. With this training you form a tribe, a community who dance alongside you all safely watched over by Rebecca and Zoe, the Queens of space holding and bliss making. If you love and honour yourself then this is the journey for you, into the realms of joy awakening, you shake your body and shake it all up... Don't take my word for it get to a class and see for yourself or better still teach your own!"
I can honestly & openly say, that in all my years and love of dancing, yoga, meditation and therapy, I have never felt so free of mind and more deeply connected to myself and my body than I have done over this past 9 months. The more I embrace this practice, the more I fall in love with it as both willing participant, releasing and expressing and humble teacher transforming and I truly hope I will do it justice and be able to help others as deeply as I have felt and experienced myself.
"The facilitators are fantastic creating a space where I feel safe and free to just be me. I have danced with my light and my shadows and am always left feeling lighter, less afraid and more able to access my love and compassion for those around me…"
"It was a life changing experience to embark on the Ecstatic Awakening Dance Teacher Training…Beckie created a deep fun and loving space…Thank you for supporting me to go to the depths of myself and comprehend my ecstatic nature."
"Thank god I stopped procrastinating and decided to come on the teacher training! A very deep and rich experience taking us too many wonderful and challenging places – ultimately arriving at a place of empowerment; feeling confident in holding a space and being inspired with passion for the method. Not to mention meeting some wonderful people – a new soul family!"
"I was a little hesitant to go along at first after far too many weirdy festival dancing experiences. But I reminded myself that I loved dancing and I loved music (and really, I wasn’t exactly overwhelmed with invitations for nights out any more!) and went along to the WCC. I had the most brilliant time – nothing odd, nothing heavy, nothing to be freaked about. Just some really great (loud!) music, fantastic tunes and the chance to really dance. Doesn’t really get much better or easier than that!”
"This training is one of the most amazing training I have ever done. If you want to improve your skills as a public speaker, this is the best training. I have felt more confident and more grounded after these 10 days. Very powerful. Thank you Rebecca!"
"I wanted to say a big thank you. You held space sooooo beautifully despite the room being packed. I loved the chocolate, the setting of our intentions, the smudging, I loved the music, I LOVED the sound bathing! What a scrumptious evening, I wanted it to go on forever!"
"I think I might have forgotten myself last night…Actually, if I really think about it, I think I might just have just remembered who I am. Wow.”
"This training has given me the confidence to step forward in LIFE and in becoming an ecstatic awakening dance teacher. I had no idea I would walk away with so many lessons and a deeper understanding of myself as I have. "Being self-conscious isn't serving anyone, especially yourself." This is one of many wise quotes that have stuck with me from the training and I hope to carry it with me for years to come. Thank you Rebecca and Zoe, for your infinite wisdom and the ability to hold such a safe space for such incredible transformation to happen. I'm forever grateful!"
"The most special of times, places and people. I knew the dancing would be hot and the teaching passionate, but didn't expect to find my misplaced optimism in life there too. A privilege. "
"The course is dynamic and packed full of theoretical knowledge and practical exercises. It teaches you how to create a safe and encouraging space for others to take a journey of self-exploration and self-expression through the power of movement, breath and meditation… Rebecca is a brilliant teacher. She is honest, passionate and deeply committed to the growth of her students. I felt much supported by her and by her amazing assistant, Zoë, throughout the whole training."
"We had little idea of the challenges, the tears, the laughter, the sisterhood and the release of the furious dancing to come. Rebecca Hanscombe created mirrors for us to truly see our edges, our fears, our holdings and our resistant patterns and then held us as they broke apart. She let us dive in deep into it all. Rebecca then gave us the space and the support to rebuild and strengthen from a place of love."
Ecstatic Awakening Dance may appear to be 21st century invention, but the free form of ecstasy inducing rituals & movement have been around for thousands of years. Globally people have always come together to dance in celebration, in bonding a community and simply to just let loose the burdens of an often otherwise mundane life. Through the ages, dance has taken on many forms and been embraced and rejected by whole cultures, religions and Societies.
The School of Ecstatic Movement is celebrating 16 years of delivering a standard of excellence through its teacher training & workshops. With the resurgence of interest in practices that can allow us to drop out of our busy stress filled lives in a time leveraged way and tune into what feeds us, Physically, Emotionally, mentally and spiritually; Ecstatic Awakening Dance has come of age.

The School of Ecstatic Movement is celebrating 16 years of our comprehensive Ecstatic Awakening Dance™ Teacher Training. The way we deliver our training has changed a bit over those years, but we know how much our hundreds of students over the years have both enjoyed and been transformed by the residential element of the training. So while sitting on a rock on the beach in Pelion, Rebecca had the idea to offer a stand-alone retreat that has all the favourite bits of the previous residential module.
The main difference is that now the retreat has no examination element, it is crafted specifically to allow the participants a deeply transformative experience for themselves, and is open to anyone with some experience of Ecstatic Dance.
This residential retreat is limited to 15 participants and 10 of these spaces are held exclusively for teachers, to ensure a warm and secure healing environment for women and men. The retreat is fully inclusive of food and shared rooms. Although the experience is fully immersive there will be plenty of time for relaxation to enjoy the nourishing surroundings of Hertfordshire countryside and for this reason we have decided to open places for partners, friends and family to accompany participants. Those guests will be invited to participate in as many workshops and sessions as they choose to.
The next all-inclusive 7 day retreat will be at our purpose built retreat centre on the Pelion peninsular. Here you will be nurtured Mind, Body, Heart and Soul by our community, cozy fireside conversations, and our dynamic integrated intensive approach to dance, healing, ceremony and shamanism.
Dates will be released soon.
