The four pillars

What Light Beam Dance is

Always free

No tickets, no cover, no membership. Anyone who wants to dance can dance.

Always in nature

Under trees, under sky, on grass. Never in a box with a roof.

Always family friendly

Kids, parents, elders, dogs, strangers. Everyone belongs on the dancefloor.

Always a light of kindness, respect, and love

We meet ourselves and each other wherever we are.

So few places invite us to fully arrive — in our bodies, with strangers, outside, free of cost.

Light Beam Dance is one of those places. Wherever it happens.

Come as you are. Bring a friend. Be a light beam.

In their words

How our dancers describe being a light beam.

Embodying and shining your most radiant and authentic self unapologetically

Being a source of my own light and my chosen distortion of light is a rainbow. All light beams are unique and yet we come from the same source like every drop of the ocean

For me, a light beam is about the flicker. It's not a single beam of light. It's a flash of energy that we can channel within us. It's like a fire and it feels like my body is dazzling. That aliveness is like a firework.

I have this image of a beam of light coming out of darkness. It makes me think of the importance of going through a black hole and coming out of it. Trust that when you go into a black hole that you'll come out of the other side.

Light beam makes me think of a bat symbol or a light house. It's a symbol that there is something there. In the Batman movies, the signal is one of hope.

Being a light beam is losing form as you move, spin, and surrender to the music. You look brighter and feel lighter. So much of the illusion of form is an illusion.
