RESET: The Summer Retreat is a week-long opportunity to reset, rejuvenate, and reignite your passion for dance. Our focus is on empowering you to create a sustainable lifestyle within the ever-evolving landscape of dance.
Throughout the week, you'll be guided to explore your own individual path through in-depth workshops, seminars, panel discussions, and open space to dive deeper into your own creative practice. Additionally, our Core Energetics workshop will help you center your mental well-being, encouraging a balanced and resilient approach to your journey. Immersed in the beautiful landscape of Western Massachusetts at Earthdance, we will also have access to additional amenities on the grounds:
Sauna
Quarry (for swimming)
Hiking Trails
Fire Pit
Our schedule is built to allow time for both our workshop sessions and use of these amenities. An important focus of RESET is creating space to build meaningful relationships with fellow participants and faculty members. Our schedule is designed to fill the days as a truly immersive retreat, including evening classes, group activities, and more!
All photos and video footage from workshops and creative projects will be available to you after the event.
