​

Winter Dance Camp is Coming!

Get ready for another deep and delicious New Year's retreat with your dance community! Dance, play, connect, sing, cuddle by the fireplace, go for a walk in the redwoods, dance some more, and welcome in the new year. Our winter event runs from December 30 at 2 PM to January 1 at 3 PM. 
 

We'll have that satisfying mix of deep and sweet movement, music, and art modalities NCDC is known for, pulling from the Bay Area's rich well of high energy and inner-directed facilitators of contact improv, 5Rhythms, African dance, yoga, singing, and more. Classes are geared to all levels; come ready to immerse yourself in movement, or just relax by the fireplace and connect with friends.​

​

Please send any inquiries or offers regarding our program to ncdcdances+program@gmail.com

Prices include the full program of classes, live music and DJ’d dances, food, lodging, and daytime childcare for children ages 3 to 11 (assuming enough kids get signed up).
