The festival organisers say:

‘A collection of dance let your soul sing through your body with movement workshops including 5 Rhythms, Ecstatic Dance, Biodanza, Trance Dance, Somatic Dance, Open Floor, African Dance, Medicine Dance Ceremony, Tantra Dance, Tribal Meditation, Osho Active Meditation, Yoga, healing and more…

‘Recent research at the University of Hertfordshire has shown that you get a much bigger release of endorphins when you dance than during any other forms of exercise; it also connects with the emotional centres in the brain, that’s why dancing prompts an emotional release. It’s cathartic – a letting go of pent-up emotions – you won’t find a better opportunity this year to open the floodgates for your endorphins than Awake Dance Celebration, join the communal catharsis taking place from 18 – 21 July:

‘A gathering celebrating dance, movement, healing and most of all… the body! We’ve created a programme with only 1 stage, so you don’t have to choose between workshops, you can attend them all. This event is to fund our Awakeland Reforestation Programme, and we will close the gathering with a ceremony planting 9 trees to acknowledge and honour the 9 expressions of dance!’
