I love ecstatic dance and I’ve enjoyed many of her events, both indoors and outside in nature. Here’s a bit more about her:</p><p><br></p><p>Raised between the wilds of West Africa and the mystical lands of Avalon, Anna-Lisa&nbsp;creates transformative spaces for expression, empowerment, and play through Ecstatic&nbsp;Dance. Blending deep, primal bass with sensual flow and electrifying drops, her carefully&nbsp;crafted journeys invite expansion, wild abandon, and soulful stillness.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Founder of Ecstatic Dance Brighton and co-founder of Avalon Dance Odyssey, she is a&nbsp;driving force in the conscious dance scene. Her work spans Ecstatic Dance UK, Bristol,&nbsp;Bath, Cardiff, Samsara Retreat, and major festivals like Wilderness, Boomtown, and&nbsp;Buddhafields. With a background in Taoist movement, well-being, and art therapy, she&nbsp;holds space for profound transformation through the power of dance.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"http://www.annalisadrew.co.uk/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.annalisadrew.co.uk</a></p><p><a href=\"http://www.ecstaticdancebrighton.co.uk/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.ecstaticdancebrighton.co.uk</a>&nbsp;</p><p><a href=\"http://www.avalondanceodyssey.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.avalondanceodyssey.com</a>&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>This episode is kindly supported by Westminster Insurance.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Did you know they cover more than 700 professions, including creatives!
