What’s so great about Christian Dance Weekends?
Joining in-person together for an extended period grows our fellowship, plus our ability to learn, dance and laugh alongside others. Throw God’s awesomeness into the mix too, and it’s amazing. These things make our Christian dance weekends great!
TOGETHERNESS
Gathering with others to create and build friendships. Finding people passionate about the same things. Being encouraged in who you are, giving space for your journey to grow. Letting yourself just be, by putting a pause in life.
FAITH
Jesus is the reason! Faith is the most integral part of the dance weekend. Deepening our conversation with God through dance and movement. Learning more about his word, how the Holy Spirit can lead and guide us. Each weekend has a theme that has a solid foundation in the Bible and there’s great fun unpacking it. Not to mention essential moments of prayer and acknowledging we need to stand on God’s truths.
MOVEMENT
Expanding your movement alongside your faith gives you the freedom to be the best follower of Jesus you can be! At our Christian dance weekends there is a freedom to not only deepen your faith, but also your movement. This is done through individual and group exercises, creating building blocks and simple frameworks to increase your movement and choreographic vocabulary.
INSPIRING
Exploring new things, celebrating with others, and growing the depth and breadth of our life experiences. Christian Dance weekends allow participants to be inspired about their journey with God, their conversations with others and their recognition that when they move the atmosphere shifts.

DANCING FREE
CHRISTIAN DANCE WEEKENDS
Come to join us in a safe cohesive environment and experience Christian dance and movement across a whole weekend. Give yourself space to develop your faith, fellowship and Christian network.
A primary focus is the chance to experience various aspects of creativity, faith, and movement in different ways. Part of this involves group and individual work, practical and reflective sessions.
Due to the variety of workshops that Dancing Free offers, these Christian Dance weekends are a perfect place to begin moving and responding to your faith. Revisit skills, learn new ones and enter an amazing time of fellowship and sharing with others. Beginners are most welcome. These weekends are busy and generally larger in number than our Going Deeper ones.
GOING DEEPER
CHRISTIAN DANCE WEEKENDS
Provides a space for an intensive encounter with God, deepening and strengthening your personal journey of faith and movement. Participating in a Going Deeper Christian dance weekend offers a chance to challenge and provoke how you outwork your faith.
A key focus is on the development of movement without resources such as flags and ribbons. There is, however, scope at specific points over the weekend to integrate this into your movement if time and space is appropriate.
Due to the intensity and deeper journey that Going Deeper initiates we recommend that participants already have prior knowledge of moving and dancing with faith.

What’s the difference?
A key difference between Dancing Free and Going Deeper is your movement ability.
Going Deeper assumes you have experience creating and responding to movement tasks on your own. With a desire to deepen and strengthen your personal journey with God.
Whilst Dance Free allows exploration into different aspects of worship dance and the opportunity to experience different styles of teaching, learning and movement. There is an emphasis on group work, discovery and walking with others on your journey with God.
What to expect
Each of our weekends will contain most of the following –
- Distinctive variety of workshop session.
- Equipping and resourcing tools available.
- A fabulous welcome pack
- Special quiet areas and prayer zones
- Interactive prayer and creative experiences
- Dedicated quiet times
- Guided input to strengthen your walk and movement with God.
