WHERE RAVE
MEETS RITUAL
Who we are
Afro Trance Dance™️ is the morning sober dance movement reframing rave culture. Centering BIPOC/queer pro DJs & wellness facilitators and celebrating diversity on the dance floor.
Where altered states of consciousness, a sense of liberation, bliss and euphoria can be experienced on the dancefloor; where music and unity are the catalyst for a natural high.
What to expect
Afro Trance Dance™️ combines sober raving with the ritual elements of opening and closing circles, no phones and no talking on the dance floor, to create a powerful container of presence and connection.

About the music & intention
Music and dance are the great unifiers. Afro Trance Dance™️ centers African electronic dance music, complemented by sounds & rhythms from around the world, creating a musical reminder of what we have forgotten; that we are all one, and all come from the same source, same land – Africa. Expect Afro House, Amapiano, Gqom, Baile, Afrobeat, Dub, Reggae, Kuduro + other sounds rooted in Africa and its diaspora, synergized with Tech/Techno, Drum & Bass, House, Melodic, Ambient +more
While our focus is unity, it’s crucial to show respect for heritage and acknowledge the historical and present-day systemic oppression faced by black people and other marginalised communities, rather than bypassing it. We do this through centering and celebrating those who have been excluded and exploited for far too long, and through giving back 5% of our profits to charities & social enterprises that empower and advocate for Africa and its diaspora. Our chosen charity/social enterprise for 2024 will be announced after our opening event.
We invite you to co-create this new paradigm with us - one in which there is a shift in power from a minority, to a global majority. Where a synergy on the dance floor between different types of people from different walks of life, creates a portal for unity. Where a thriving symbiotic ecosystem of exchange exists again, where we live in alignment with the highest good for all. Where we - a community of all races, genders and religions, utilise the power of music and dance to connect with ourselves, each other and our planet. Holding the vision for change, dancing as a revolution.
This is for people who crave change and know the power of us coming together to form a mycelium network in which each individual’s presence and actions contribute to the health and wealth of the whole.
