About Us

Dance Camp East is a family-friendly festival in the heart of Suffolk, bringing like minded souls together for over 30 years. Through workshops, music, campfires, dance, and wellness activities, we create a vibrant space to celebrate community, self-expression, and a free-spirited way of life.

Why Choose DCE?

30 Years Of Community Spirit

Dance Camp East has been nurturing connection and creativity for over three decades, making it one of the UK’s most trusted and enduring festivals. Our long-standing history reflects a deep commitment to fostering a vibrant community where everyone feels welcome, valued, and inspired.

Unique Family-Friendly Atmosphere

Unlike many festivals, DCE is designed with families in mind. Our safe and inclusive environment offers something for all ages, from enriching activities for children to engaging workshops and performances for adults. Parents, children, and individuals alike can enjoy a sense of togetherness while creating lasting memories.

Transformative Workshops & Wellness

At the heart of DCE are our diverse and inspiring workshops, talks, and wellness activities. Whether you’re looking to dive into personal growth and healing, explore your creative side, or practice mindfulness and healing, our expert-led sessions provide something meaningful for everyone.

Rare 7-Day Festival Experience

While most festivals last just a weekend, Dance Camp East gives you an entire week to immerse yourself in its magic for a cheaper price than you’d pay for a few days anywhere else. With seven days to explore, connect, and grow, you’ll have the time and space to truly unwind, deepen your experiences, and fully embrace the festival’s offerings.

Eco-Conscious Living

We pride ourselves on our eco-friendly ethos, making sustainability a core part of the festival. From compost toilets to low-impact practices, we aim to minimize our footprint and celebrate living in harmony with nature, offering a meaningful alternative to larger commercial festivals.

Free-Spirited Connection

DCE offers a unique opportunity to unplug from the commercial world and connect authentically with others. Through dance, music, and shared experiences, you’ll meet like-minded individuals and build bonds that extend far beyond the festival. It’s not just an event; it’s a true community

    ”Dance Camp East has shown me that a never ending well of love exists in the world and within the hearts of all those who love and care for life and our Mother Earth. I’m a single mum and the amount of love and support that I feel is poured into me at this festival overwhelms me (in the best possible way!). It shows me that a better way of living IS possible and that we are taking baby steps towards this better world each time we come together in this way.”

  • Etai

    ~ International Yoga Teacher ~

    “Dance Camp East is a perfect example of how returning to simple, communal living creates a utopian future that serves our planet and global population alike! Within a few days of being there, I found my tightly-wound individualist programming unfurling, replaced with a soft embrace of collectivist compassion and open-heartedness! Between the boundless creative expression, collaborative activities, and impassioned workshops, Dance Camp East has raised the bar for what life can be!”

  • James

    ~ First Time Camper ~
    “Dance Camp East embraces communal living, healing and insightful workshops led by experienced and wise practitioners, and above all allows you to truly leave the stresses of regular life in order to return to our true selves. Everyone is so welcoming with their time, energy and skills, and I can’t wait to return to the field!”
