Ecstatic Dance
In Barcelona & Catalunya
“In many shamanic societies, if you came to a Medicine Man or Woman and complained about being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask you one of four questions:
When did you stop dancing?
When did you stop singing?
When did you stop being enchanted by the stories?
When did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence? ”
In “Maps to Ecstasy” by Gabrielle Roth
Where we stopped dancing, singing, being enchanted by stories, or finding comfort in silence is where we have experienced the loss of soul. Dancing, singing, storytelling, and silence are the four universal healing salves.
Welcome Dancers
I'm the founder of Edulis, a project dedicated to exploring the transformative power of free-form movement through Ecstatic Dance and Contact Beyond Contact.
My offerings weave together music as a guide, nature as a source of inspiration, and the dance community as the heart of the experience. From different corners of Catalunya—including Barcelona—I co-create spaces where people can move freely, connect deeply, and rediscover what truly matters.
Here, I invite you into my world as an explorer and facilitator of free movement. A world shaped by a deep gratitude for these practices and an enduring connection with nature—qualities that infuse every session I create.
Let's celebrate freedom, connection, and the beauty of being alive—one step, one rhythm, one dance at a time.
Ecstatic Dance
Ecstatic Dance is a conscious movement practice guided by a few simple principles that distinguish it from traditional or social dance:
Free Movement:
-
There are no choreographies or prescribed steps. You are invited to move freely, following your own body, intuition, and inner rhythm.
-
A Sacred Space: The dance floor is held as a safe and respectful space, free from judgment, alcohol, drugs, and unnecessary distractions, allowing everyone to express themselves authentically.
-
A Musical Journey: The DJ creates a carefully crafted musical wave that guides dancers through a rich landscape of energies and emotions, inviting each person into their own unique journey.
Contact Beyond Contact
Contact Beyond Contact (CBC), is a dance and healing practice originally created by Vangelis Legakis, the founder and artistic director of Unity Space – an Arts and Healing Organisation based in Hong Kong.
CBC weaves together different approaches to movement and embodied awareness, including Authentic Movement, Contact Improvisation, Passing Through, Qi Gong, and Mindfulness. These practices are well-woven together to create a holistic integration of the Body, Mind and Heart.
CBC is a practice of finding safety in movement and connection so we can change how we show up in relationships — through leading, following, saying yes or no, and everything in between.

The magic of an Ecstatic Dance is born not only from the music, but from the ritualization of a collective journey: beginning together in a circle, preparing body and soul to travel through a wave of musical and emotional landscapes — in tribe. From the softness of flow, through the fire of the rise and the madness of chaos,into the lightness and connection of the lyrical, until finally landing in the sweet territory of silence. Bodies awaken, surrender, dissolve, and find each other again. When we dance like this, what emerges is ecstasy — pure, free, and real.

Hi, I’m Guillaume
I deeply believe in the transformative power of free-form movement, which is leading me to explore a variety of embodiment practices, including 5Rhythms, Contact Improvisation, Contact Beyond Contact, etc.
On one hand, I am facilitating regular Ecstatic Dance since 2024 between Barcelona, Montseny, and Girona under the name DJ Edulis. I trained with Albert Pala between 2023 and 2024.
Alongside this, I am beginning to share Contact Beyond Contact as a creative way to explore how we relate to ourselves, to others, and to the space around us through movement. I have been training with Vangelis Legakis, the creator of CBC, since 2026, and I am a Level 1 Certified Contact Beyond Contact Facilitator.
I had the honor of being invited to several European Ecstatic Dance festivals.
Each stage that welcomed me represents a trust placed in my musical proposal and in the way I facilitate sound journeys. For me, it’s not just about playing music, but about creating a space where the tribe can let go, reconnect, and expand.
My presence at festivals in Spain, Portugal, and France confirms that Ecstatic Dance is a universal language, capable of crossing borders and resonating in the hearts of people from all cultures.
It is a true privilege to be part of this growing network of festivals that celebrate life, music, and transformation, in an environment free from alcohol and substances.
