Dance Church Encinitas is an inclusive, multi-generational movement community that hosts a weekly Sunday morning dance session for both beginners and seasoned freeform dancers. 

No prior dance experience is needed.

We are blending the improvisational style of ecstatic dance with a safe environment for freeform expression.

 A passionate team of DJ/facilitators creates an eclectic mix of music, inviting participants to explore movement freely and authentically. 

Its roots go back to 2003 in Encinitas, CA. and it has organized itself for over 20 years without missing a Sunday by a team of dedicated volunteers and fellow dancers. 

As such all ticket donations go towards rent, equipment and curated playlists to keep the dance alive. 

Once purely dance studio-based we continued to gather on the grounds of "Swamis"afterward. 

Now we are barefoot-boogieing on the grass of a beautiful park in North County's Solana Beach and a carpeted martial arts studio in eastern San Diego.
