Dance in the USA is home to 5Rhythms® and Ecstatic Dance in Washington, DC; Maryland; and northern Virginia. Click the links above for detailed information on these regular events. Our primary purpose is provide workshops and regular monthly events for these dances in Bethesda, MD (just outside DC’s Beltway) and in central Baltimore (just off I-83). In addition we organize and host the occasional dance social event, bare foot boogie, trance dance, contact improve, JourneyDance, Biodanza and other movement event, all of which promote better self-awareness, physical and mental health, and and just plain, old-fashion good times through improvisational dance. We also publish a more or less weekly dance newsletter for the DMV region that contains information on both our hosted events and a large variety of conscious dance events throughout the eastern United States and beyond.

Our DC area events take place at the Carderock Swim and Tennis Club facility in Bethesda, MD, just five minutes from Beltway (I-495) exit 39- River Road.

Longtime estactic dancers from LA coming to visit DC. We will be there 8/29 – 9/5. Hope to join your community on the dance floor. Please advise of dance opportunities during that period. Sending light and love and hopes for a wonderful trip. DA
Hi Diane,
We only have on event over that period – Ecstatic Dance. Just click the link at the top of the page for that category and you’re all set. We look forward to dancing with you.
Hi Diane, if you are going to do some roadtrips while you are here, the tribe in Charlottesville, VA has esctactic dance on Wednesday and Sundays – Monticello is near there and so is James Madison’s home, so a really doable day trip or quick overnight with great historical stuff nearby too. It is about 2-3 hrs from the DC area (with no traffic) http://dancecville.com/.
