Earthdance invites you for workshops, contact improv jams, personal and group retreats throughout the year. Located within driving distance of New York and Boston, we welcome individuals and groups to create, inspire, relax and heal in the glorious Berkshire hills.



Upcoming Workshops/Events May 9 - 11 Earthdance Annual Meeting. Please join us. May 15 - 18 The Big Mess or Practices for Returning to a State of Wonder with Miguel Gutierrez. What if we don't divide the experience of investigating our work as dance artists into the neat categories of “technique,” or “improvisation,” or “composition?” June 19 - 26 Intercontinental Contact: A Post-CI36 Exchange. Following the 36th Anniversary Celebration of CI, Intercontinental Contact will offer an opportunity to dance and dialogue with improvisers from around the world. June 22 - 26 Interweave Intensive with K.J. Holmes & Ray Chung July 27 - August 17 SEEDS FESTIVAL: inviting a diverse group of artists, movement practitioners, architects, scientists, spiritual leaders, and activists to creatively research ecology and experiential arts

Mission Statement
Earthdance provides a gathering place that inspires the art and spirit of improvisation. We support and train people at all skill levels to find and develop expression in movement, theater and music. The influence of nature and the ongoing contributions of community members and skilled teachers enliven workshops, jams, peer-led groups, and retreats. A core of residential staff integrates artistic practice with everyday work commitments.
