Vertical Dance workshops
Saturday, May 3 10am-1pm
Saturday, May 17 10am-1pm
Mendocino Dance Project offers classes and workshops in contemporary dance on the ground and vertical dance in the redwoods. We offer an opportunity to explore creative self-expression and authentic connection through the art of movement and dance.
Enlivening a weekend retreat, collective gathering, or team building session, our dance workshops promote unity, wellness, and inspiration for all participants.
Please contact the company to book a private class or sign up for one of our current offerings.
Summer Camp is back!
We are excited to offer two vertical dance camps this summer. Camp is a great way to learn new vertical dance skills, explore your creativity, try something new, make new friends, and spend time inside the redwood forest.
Camp is Monday through Friday from 10am-3pm each day. We will have an informal showing on Friday at 2pm so the students can share what they have learned over the course of the week. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
Creative movement in the schools
Mendocino Dance Project has been offering creative movement and dance in our local schools since 2015. We are currently providing dance education at Mendocino K8, Redwood Elementary School, and Anderson Valley Elementary School for the 2025 school year.
The essence of dance is joy and we love sharing our love of movement and the human body with students of all ages. Dance is a great means to strengthen the mind and body connection. Students develop a strong sense of confidence, spatial and social awareness, balance, creativity, and coordination. It seems that all students, however diverse, can relate to dance and movement and find a new voice in this unusual and active classroom environment.
camp dates
June 23 - 27 / Ages 13 - 19
August 4 - 8 / Ages 9 - 12
