The largest Italian gathering for 5 Rhythms dance and conscious movement, set in the nature of Gubbio
The Midsummer Festival - 5 Rhythms & Friends has been, since 2016, the most important Italian gathering dedicated to 5 Rhythms dance and conscious movement. It takes place every summer in the countryside of Gubbio, in the Province of Perugia, in a setting immersed in the Umbrian nature, where dancing occurs on an outdoor wooden platform surrounded by meadows and trees.
The day always opens with a yoga practice and continues with various daily conscious movement sessions: in addition to the 5 Rhythms, there are alternating sessions of Movement Medicine, Soul Motion, Azul, Ecstatic Dance, and Trance Dance. The practices are led by qualified teachers from all over Italy and abroad, often accompanied by live musicians, in Italian and English.
More than just an event, the Midsummer Festival is a community experience: the minimum stay is a few days, the cuisine is predominantly vegetarian and zero-km, and the atmosphere is that of a summer retreat dedicated to the body, movement, and meeting people. A proposal that enriches the offerings of the Gubbio area with an experiential and contemporary dimension.
The Midsummer Festival 2026 will take place from August 6 to 16 at Casa Sangam, in the Gubbio countryside. Confirmed as the largest Italian event for 5 Rhythms dance and conscious dance, it offers a daily program starting with yoga in the morning and continuing with multiple movement sessions throughout the day.
Dancing takes place on an outdoor wooden platform immersed in nature; the cuisine is predominantly vegetarian and zero-km. The practices are led in Italian and English by qualified teachers from Italy and abroad.
