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

“DCE is a haven I look forward to every year. As soon as you step onto the field you are enveloped into a supportive community with people from all walks of life. I love sitting around the fire after a day filled with workshops, where I can truly be with other people and share the gift of community. It’s magical, powerful and brings me back to myself” -

“DCE is an annual adventure I look forward to. Whatever your age, there is something for everyone. I love the circle and the interesting people I meet, cooking on a camp fire, yoga, being in nature, the music and the sauna. There is always some good surprises which add to the week!” -

“DCE is a place where my soul feels at home and intimately connected with all of nature. I love that there is always such a wide range of skills that wondeful individuals bring to our community. Everyone has helped me to heal, grow and transform through the connections that I have made here. I cannot go a summer without this festival.” -

“Within a very short space of time I was made to feel so welcome, everyone felt like family and I made life long friends. What I loved most was the community and connection, the life-changing workshops and spontaneous singalongs around the camp fires. It’s like a mini festival, community gathering, retreat and camping holiday with new best mates all in one!”
