Calendar

Earthdance is home for a dynamic mix of dance, somatic, and interdisciplinary arts programing, with a focus on sustainable living, social justice, and community

Local, national and international practitioners and teachers offer a range of workshops, trainings, and local programs throughout the year.  

Contact Improvisation Jams serve as the cornerstone of our programing.  Both beginning and advanced practitioners alike come far and wide to these events to practice the form and celebrate community.

Our growing residency programs offer the time and space for research, development and creation in our studios, on the land and within the community of Earthdance.  

We look forward to sharing Earthdance with you, from the woods and garden, to our bustling kitchen, serving up delicious, gourmet vegetarian food, and in and out of our gorgeous studios.
