Feedback from the 2024 festival:
"The ability to dance CI for many hours in an intentional jam where people are highly involved and with intentional teachers during the day. The constant feeling of CI that you get to rest in your body as the days are focused on dance and somatic (touch)."
"Impeccable organisation, great teaching, amazing jams and lots of beautiful and cosy spaces to chill in. Well done! And thank you so much for offering and carrying this space full of openness and kindness."
"The atmosphere at the festival felt very welcoming and safe, at the same time the crowd was really amazing, very high level but also very friendly, and the location contributed to create a sense of community and held space."
"I built a time machine and have already travelled back 7 times to re-experience the festival. So thank you seven times! I'll see you soon for the eighth!"
....
For us Midnight Sun CI Festival is much more than a dance festival—it's a celebration of community and our dear practice of CI. Through uplifting and nurturing additional programs like sauna, mantra circles, yoga, meditation, and shared meals, we create moments that bring warmth and beautiful memories long after the festival ends.
The Nordic nature, and the "white nights" where sun barely dips below the horizon, forms the perfect backdrop for this festival experience. We get to dance late till the night while sun is still up! Join us to deepen your CI practice, build new bonds, and experience the magic of these midsummer nights!
🌿🌿
Where technique and the joy of dance meet
