2017 August 17–27 – DNE Summer Dance Camp
Dance New England annual Summer Dance Camp
Camp Robin Hood - Freedom, New Hampshire, USA
Dance New England Summer Dance Camp: This August, experience Dance New England Dance Camp for ten wondrous days, where together we build an alternative world to nourish our creative spirit. There is of course dance: African, ballroom, contact improvisation, and salsa (teen favorite). Dance with snakes, humans, and your glorious self. Dance to live music. Dance all night to excellent DJs. Sweat prayers, breathe transformationally, beat drums, learn multiple styles of yoga and massage from master teachers. Or find a peaceful spot at the beach from which to contemplate mountains and sunset. Eat, converse, sing, schmooze. Dance Camp is ours to co-create. Join us!
