Ecstatic Grooves offers conscious dance events rooted in Ecstatic Dance. We create safe, inclusive spaces where people can move freely, reconnect with their bodies and emotions, and experience presence, release, and connection—without judgment or substances.

We hold intentional gatherings where people from all backgrounds can return to themselves through music and movement. Our vision is to nurture a vibrant community where authenticity is welcome, and dance becomes a path to healing, expression, and shared joy.

Our Journey

What we do

Our Journey

Felippe and Holly’s paths have taken them across Brazil, the UK, and Italy, shaped by music, cultural immersion, and inner growth. Their shared experience and training inspired Ecstatic Grooves—a space born from their commitment to conscious movement and heart-centered holistic community. 

MEET THE FOUNDERS

Holly Johnsen Fontanelli

Holly Johnsen Fontanelli

Holly Johnsen Fontanelli

Holly is known for her deeply intuitive and eclectic DJ sets, blending global rhythms with ceremonial and Celtic undertones. Raised in South Wales and influenced by the UK electronic scene, she began mixing vinyl at 15, later training in music production and audio engineering in London. Her decade in Brazil deepened her connection to ceremonial music and community-led healing spaces.
She is also a certified DJ with Dance The Medicine, where she refined her ability to guide emotional and wave-like musical journeys.

Born in Brazil and raised in Italy, Felippe brings a grounded and visionary presence shaped by years of entrepreneurial experience and personal transformation. His journey includes deep exploration of psychedelics, spirituality, somatic practices, and conscious movement.
He is a certified Level 2 Ecstatic Dance facilitator with Dance The Medicine, passionate about creating embodied experiences that nurture emotional intelligence, inner balance, and authentic connection.

WE BELONG TO A GLOBAL COMMUNITY

At Ecstatic Grooves, we are proud to be part of the Dance The Medicine (DTM) family—an international community of conscious dance facilitators, DJs, and event organizers dedicated to bringing structure, inclusivity, and integrity to Ecstatic Dance events worldwide. 

As part of the DTM team and network, we share a commitment to holding spaces that are:

  • 🌀 Safe, respectful, and substance-free
  • 👣 Barefoot and non-verbal, to invite presence and embodied awareness
  • 💛 Judgment-free and emotionally supportive, where authentic expression and healing are welcomed  

These shared values guide how we hold space in Bologna—crafting intentional musical journeys where people of all backgrounds are invited to move freely, reconnect with themselves, and experience the transformative power of conscious dance.
