NYE 2025 Winter Dance Camp is open!
This year's event is three yummy nights,
Wed., December 31 to Sat., January 3
(The link to the registration site is at the bottom of the page, but please read the information below first!)
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, and dance some more, as we welcome in the new year. Our winter event runs from Wed., December 31st at 2pm to Sat., January 3rd at 2pm, ending with lunch.
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
