dance party
An Xtatic Dance Rave at XD is a held and yet free dance experience in a club setting, where the focus is fully on movement, music and presence. Never been before? No worries, we guide you from the start so you can settle in and feel comfortable before the dance starts.
Every party we have DJs that prepare an intentionally built music journey, from soft and deep rhythms to energetic, powerful peaks, inviting you to move in your own way.
There is no talking on the dancefloor, no substances and no phones, creating a safer and respectful space where everyone can let go and fully immerse themselves. You can come alone or with friends, dance barefoot, take breaks when needed and leave feeling grounded, energised and connected.
How an Xtatic Dance Rave works
Arrival &
Landing
You arrive in a calm, welcoming atmosphere. Grab a tea or water, take off your shoes, settle into the space and connect with the vibe. We share all important information upfront, so your mind can relax and your body can take over.
Opening &
Landing
We begin together with a short opening to mark the start of the journey. This helps the room arrive as one group and creates a safer, focused space for the dance ahead.
The Music
Journey
The DJs guide you through an intentionally curated music journey from deep and gentle rhythms to powerful, energetic peaks. You dance freely in your own way, without talking, substances or distractions. You can move wildly, softly, or take breaks whenever you need.
Landing &
Closing
We close the night with live and calming music to help you land back in yourself. You leave nourished, grounded and energised, often with a small snack, so you can carry the feeling with you into the rest of your evening.
What makes Xtatic Dance special
What you'll find nowhere else
Our Deep
Commitment
We deeply care about creating a space that feels welcoming for everyone. Dancing is at the center of the experience: a space for free expression through the body, guided by diverse and intentionally curated music, inviting people to fully lose themselves in the journey of the dancefloor.

Our Unique
Mix
We bring together two worlds we deeply love: Ecstatic Dance and Club Culture, blending the best of both. From Ecstatic Dance, we take the intention of creating an aware, sober, and open space for free expression, while from Club Culture we draw immersive sound and the collective energy of the dancefloor.

Our Curious
Community

Two years of dancing, and we're just getting started
Frequently
Asked
Questions
01What is an Xtatic Dance Rave?
A dance journey in a real club: sober, barefoot and guided by our DJs from deep, gentle rhythms to powerful peaks. There are no steps to learn and no way to do it wrong. We open and close the night together, and in between you simply dance.
02How is XD different from a classic ecstatic dance?
Same roots, different energy. We bring the free, substance-free dance into a club, with resident DJs, a proper sound system and rave energy. Think ecstatic dance meets club night, ending early enough to sleep well.
03Do I need dance experience?
No. There is no right way to move at XD. Some dance wildly, some sway, some take breaks on the side. Your body knows what to do, and no one is there to judge.
04Can I come alone?
Absolutely, many of us do. The opening circle connects the room, and the dancefloor does the rest. You can stay in your own bubble all night or find connection, both are welcome.
05How do I prepare before joining a XD dance event?
There's nothing you need to prepare — come as you are. Wear something you can move in, maybe eat something light beforehand, and arrive with an open mind. We guide you through everything from the moment you walk in.
06What do I need to bring?
Just yourself and comfy clothes. We dance without phones, so everything you really need is already there. Feel free to also bring your water bottle.
07What can I expect when I arrive?
A calm, welcoming atmosphere. Grab a tea or water, take off your shoes and settle into the space. We open the evening together, then the music journey begins — from soft and deep to energetic peaks, closing with calming sounds and a small snack.
08How do I get there?
Our raves take place at Kiosk Club in Lucerne and Kauz Club in Zurich. Both are easy to reach by public transport — all location details are on your ticket.
09How much is a ticket?
We use a sliding scale: CHF 20 / 30 / 35 / 40. You choose the price that fits your situation, no questions asked. Tickets are on our events page.
10What do I wear?
Whatever you can move and sweat in. Most of us dance in comfortable everyday clothes — and often barefoot, but that's up to you.
11Do I really dance barefoot?
That's completely up to you! The evening doesn't have any rules except for that we respect each other. We love dancing barefoot, but you can decide for yourself!
12Can I arrive late?
Doors open at 19:00 and close at 19:30 sharp — we start the journey together. After 19:30 there's no entry, so make sure you're inside by then.
13Are there drinks?
Yes! Water is always there for you. The bar also serves other drinks for purchase, including alcoholic ones — though we warmly invite you to keep your night alcohol-free.
14Is the dance completely sober?
The dancefloor is supposed to be a substance-free space, and we warmly invite you to keep the whole night that way. If you really need a beer, we can't forbid it — but we strongly invite you to show up in the most present and sober way possible.
