Tantra Dance

NJOY Tantric Dance in Aruba

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to experience a Tantra workshop in Aruba for the first time!

Tantric Dance is conscious dancing together. A dance of giving and receiving, in which one is in charge and the other is blindfolded in the dance. The challenge is to stay very close to yourself, but at the same time to be connected to the other.

Tantric Dance invites us to show ourselves fully, to be authentic and to find a fine balance between taking charge and surrendering. In Tantra, In Tantra, taking charge is not only about directing others, but especially about leading yourself. Taking charge is an act of self-love.

In the Tantric Dance you can discover what intimacy really means, not only with a partner but especially with yourself. The dance invites you to be vulnerable, to feel what is going on inside you at that moment and to embrace it without judgment.

Tantric Dance is more than just moving; It is a journey inside yourself, a journey to more connection with the other on a deeper level, a journey to more love and more awareness.

Tantric Dance can also be exciting, it is a different way of dancing that many do not (yet) know. But outside your comfort zone, there is the place “where the Magic happens”. And I like to say: “Where you feel resistance, you have something to look for”.

It is a dance in which words are superfluous and the body becomes the language.
Do you dare to surrender to it? Then feel welcome to join us in discovering the magic that happens when two souls meet in such a pure way. Come to experience this unique tantra workshop in Aruba!

What is Tantra?
For me, tantra means daring to be intimate with myself and others. Showing up naked with clothes on. Saying YES to myself and life on all levels. The beauty, the abundance, the life energy, but also the misery, patterns and hassle. Looking at my distortions and pain and as best I can transform this into clarity and freedom. One of the most beautiful aspects of Tantra is that it does not see pleasure and growth as opposites, but as 2 things that go very well together. Tantra shows us that pleasure in all its forms can be a powerful tool for personal development.

Tantra is also about sexual energy. Sexual energy is an intense and powerful energy and does not always have to be projected through sexuality. Sexual energy and sexuality are therefore separate from each other. “So Tantra is not about sex”. Sexual energy also gives you the power to be creative. For example, it helps you to enjoy your work or take care of your family. It stands for joie de vivre (energy) and passion. It is an energy that can be inexhaustible and can provide a lot of inner happiness.

Tantra can be a new path in life for you in which you become aware of everything that is happening around you. It will make your love life more powerful. It teaches you to understand your limits and to live more from your deepest desires. You will learn to connect differently with your environment and you will notice that it is better to stay true to yourself. Your inner wisdom will grow and you will come to realize that today’s knowledge is a different truth tomorrow. Sinking out of the head and into your body so that you will feel deeper and more intense so you can enjoy intimacy and sex more.

Who can participate in this workshop?
Everyone! It doesn’t matter if you’re single or in a relationship. You can come with or without a partner and if you want to dance the whole evening with your own partner and don’t want to switch with others, you can.
