| Dance New England (DNE) is a creative collective of people who love to dance, as well as a consortium of cooperatively run, not-for-profit, freestyle, barefoot dances in the New England area. DNE events include our annual summer camp and weekend events throughout the year hosted and produced by our member dances.
The DNE Summer Camp
This will be our 24th summer camp!
Summer Camp is a wonderful place for people to come together to dance, play, explore and rejuvenate. Camp offers a wide array of classes and improvised activities, a beautiful lake and rustic environment, and the support and stimulation of a vibrant, creative community. Camp offers a nightly freestyle boogie and a variety of other evening activities such as contact jams, drum council, men.s and women.s circles, sweat lodges, family dances and a festival of homegrown talent. Shared play and shared work make camp a rewarding and inspirational community experience.
In our exploration of community and creativity, we emphasize:
- respect for the differences among individuals and cultures
- empowerment of children, elders, and all community members
- acknowledgement that our bodies and environment are sacred
- a drug free and alcohol free environment
- non-violence and creative conflict resolution
- safety to express ourselves and acknowledge the contributions that we each make to our community
- cooperative efforts to create community and community events

About Community Service...
The essence of Dance New England is
collective work and personal responsibility.
Our community depends on the effort of every member to create summer camp. Coming to camp means being ready to work as well as play. There is a welcome place for your effort and initiative in DNE, both at camp and year round.
Please take the time to find it.
