Our Mission: To make every dance count
DANCE FOR THE PLANET exists to create meaningful connections between people, music, and the natural world while ensuring our events leave no negative impact. We are committed to producing dance music experiences that celebrate life, build community, and actively protect the earth.
We believe in the energy of the dance floor as a force for connection, joy, and environmental action. Our mission is to protect the natural spaces we gather in by creating zero-impact events that give back to the planet.
Through our Summit Sessions and community initiatives, we are building a movement of conscious celebration. We aim to show that it’s possible to honor our love for music and nature at the same time, creating experiences that leave only a positive footprint.
Our Story
DANCE FOR THE PLANET began as a simple idea: what if we could experience the joy of dance music in the places we love most?
As lifelong music lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, we've always felt a disconnect between the electronic music scene and our passion for natural spaces. Traditional music events often create significant environmental impacts, from energy consumption to waste generation.
We envisioned something different —intimate, low-impact dance experiences in beautiful natural settings that leave these places better than we found them. Summit Sessions was born from this vision—combining the adventure of hiking with the euphoria of dancing to incredible music in breathtaking locations.
What started as informal gatherings with friends has evolved into a mission to build a community around sustainable celebration and environmental stewardship.
