What Earthdance Is

More than a festival weekend

Earthdance is a gathering shaped by music, movement, creativity, participation and a shared moment of global connection. Each year, Earthdance communities around the world come together for the Prayer for Peace: a synchronised linkup that reminds us we are part of something bigger than one dancefloor, one city or one scene.

Cape Town is one expression of that global movement. Ours is a spring gathering rooted in people, place and the simple power of coming together well.

The weekend, and the moment at its centre

For three days in September, Kromrivier Farm was a town of people who came to take part: two stages, a market village, ceremonies, workshops and a camping field under the mountains.

At 01:00 SAST on Sunday 20 September we joined Earthdance gatherings around the planet for the Prayer for Peace: the same words, at the same time, on every Earthdance dancefloor on Earth. Everything else was built to hold that moment.
