Heart of the Dance Camp

 

Heart of the Dance is about to launch a Conscious Dance Academy. Since we are going to spread our wings and broaden our horizon, we wish to share and co-create our growing vision with you. For this, we will dive deep into the core of Conscious Dance and explore the growing edges of the field. Expect master classes on Contact and Dance Improvisation, the 5Rhythms, the poetry of movement and more. At the same time, we want to unlock the collective wisdom and invite everyone to bring and share their unique skills. There will be slots in the program where you and other participants can offer your own workshop or propose questions for (movement) research. In the evening there is space for co-creating an Ecstatic Dance, making music, an open forum, or something else that wants to arise. In short, this dance camp is a gathering, a workshop, and a shared lab environment where we can play, experiment, and discover the essence of Conscious Dance. 

And thus, we invite you to join us for five days of Ecstatic and Conscious dancing in the enchanting natural environment of the Uelenspieghel. Whether you are an experienced dancer or just starting your dance journey, this camp is a meeting place for dance lovers who wish to share their passion and immerse themselves in Conscious Movement exploration. Get ready to be inspired and inspire others, to connect with like-minded dancers and to push the boundaries of movement expression.

“Untangle my feet
from all that ensnares
Free my soul
That we might
Dance
and that our dancing
might be contagious.”

Below we will elaborate on the costs.

During the camp, you will have the opportunity to stay in different accommodations, including single, double, or shared rooms, as well as the option to bring your own tent, camper, or caravan. Below is the price overview:

During this camp we will take care of the food together. Nothing builds community like cooking and sharing a meal together, and it also helps us to keep the costs low.
