Summer Camp

NCDC's Summer Dance Camp, June 13-22, 2008! Was Awesome

We are just back from this year's dance camp at the beautiful and rustic Camp Hye Sierra, near Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park, June 13-22, 2008. It is too late to register for this year, so put us on the calendar for next summer - 2009. Thanks. For now here is a link to the lost and found for 2008 .

We invite you to dance, play, celebrate and grow with us as we co-create a dance village for nine days in the southern Sierras, with daytime classes in a wide range of movement modalities as well as music and art, and all kinds of great evening events. Relax, sun yourself by the lake, go for a swim or a canoe ride, play Frisbee or volleyball, make new friends and talk with old ones - there's a wide range of experiences available to newcomers and returning campers alike.

In addition to our great schedule of classes led by professional teachers, there are lots of opportunities for performing as well as for camper-led activities, daily practices, relaxation, and boogies. As always, there will be a great Kids Camp program for the little ones to keep them happy and engaged while their parents take classes or just relax by the lake. We will once again have amazing, gourmet vegetarian meals, prepared with love by the entire community as part of our community service, under the guidance of Charlie and Marion Cascio, former Esalen chefs.

Come for all nine days and take full advantage of all the experience has to offer, or join us for just a few days, if that's all your schedule permits. Work-exchange and some partial scholarships are available if you need some help to extend your stay. There's plenty of information here to convince you that you'll want to stay as long as possible - for many of us, summer dance camp is the highlight of our year!

Wanna keep the sweet vibe going once Dance Camp ends? After Sunday's closing circle, join the caravan that heads down to the Kings River through Tuesday, June 24, for whitewater fun and more creative community magic!
