Earthdance Ibiza

Earthdance Ibiza

Give peace a dance, an EARTHDANCE. Get ready for what could be the biggest clubbing event ever. On 26 September up to million people will dance to one tune, at one time, at over 300 venues in 60 countries to express a simple, unified, harmonious desire for peace. And they will raise some money for good causes along the way.

Visit www.earthdance.es for the latest information!

The local EARTH DANCE IBIZA festival will start on Saturday 26th September at Casita Verde (San Jose, from 2pm to 7pm, and then from 8pm the celebrations will continue at Priviledge Ibiza.

The lineup for the whole festival includes live music, esteemed DJ's (Lenny Ibizarre, José María Ramón, and DJ John Sa Trinxa and DJ Samir amongst others), screenings, workshops and performances of international dance and body movement (Dance Bhangra, belly dance, Biodanza, Dance of the 5 rhythms), as well as healing through sound sessions and other therapies, healthy food, activities and entertainment for children, a fire show and furthermore a screening premiere of the as yet unreleased film, "And The Beat Goes On", about the DJ's and mysticism in Balearic Ibiza!

Across the world's time zones DJs will sync their turntables to play the specially-produced EARTHDANCE song, “A Prayer for Peace" .It will be morning in the Australian rainforest, midnight in London, and sunrise over the Himalayas. In Ibiza the tune will drop at 1am. Precisely. Giant screens will display scenes from other venues in a global webcam link-up sharing peace across the dancefloors of the world.

As the Dalai Lama told EARTHDANCE founder Chris Deckker: “I think global events are a really hopeful sign. When something happens on one side of the planet, it naturally affects the other side. After all, we all share the same blue planet.”

Artist and musician Deckker started EARTHDANCE in 1997 as part of the global electronic music scene. Lenny Ibizarre organised Ibiza's first event. It has grown globally to include a diverse cross-section of musical genres including world music, jazz, conscious hip-hop, folk and reggae.

EARTHDANCE has shown how the potent combination of music, dance and technology can be harnessed for positive and humanitarian aims. For one night all around the globe, people join together to dance as one global community, united with a common vision for peace and humanitarian aims.

Produced by a collective of promoters and organizations, each individual EARTHDANCE event is guided by EARTHDANCE International, but organised and funded locally. EARTHDANCE IBIZA is promoted by Follow your Heart Productions which aims to both raise awareness about important issues affecting society and to raise money for local charities and causes.

“In Ibiza we are combining dance, the healing arts and ecology in a one-day gathering.  By channelling our energies through a harmonious event, together with other EARTHDANCE communities we are confident we can manifest an amazing transformative display of creative energy for promoting peace… Especially with all the talent here in Ibiza!” says local EARTHDANCE IBIZA organiser Jonny Lee.

Now he says the need is for volunteers to come forward. “We are looking for alls sorts of people to help with PR and setting the show up as well as musicians, healers, performance artists, VJs, graphic artists, speakers, camera operators, writers, technicians, sponsors and fundraisers. It'll be great fun and you'll be helping some good causes.”

The EARTH DANCE motto this year is "Bless the Children", and part of the proceeds will go to Childs Rights  - a foundation established in Spain which gives shelter, education and food to orphan children of India, in addition to providing them a sustainable future through dance and other artistic skills. Donations will also go to APNEEF (Association for Children with Special Needs in Ibiza and Formentera) and Greenheart Resonancia - an environmental education program for children in Ibiza).
