Dance for EVERY ONE and EVERY BODY. The first step is to step in. Let’s gather and dance for hours and days in nature of Wales exploring new moves, new rhythms, new versions of ourselves and others.

Our desire is to take people away from a usual cultural concept of a music event/ festival towards a more ‘embodied’ gathering. We like the British ‘club culture’ but we also like the slow and mindful pace of a ‘retreat’ setting - so we birthed Dancing Body that aims to capture the best of both worlds. We will bring some of the UK leading dance teachers from both traditional and modern dance styles to hold workshops in the day and open the evening barn club to allow for some of that rave buzz! Please see ‘about’ page on our website for the full story :)

* 72 hours of immersive dance exploration
* Three days dedicated to rediscovering self-expression through movement
* Classes led in Salsa, Forro, Swing, Dancehall/ Afrobeats, Voging
