Dancing Rabbit is a 280 acres (1.1 km2) ecovillage near Rutledge, Missouri that was formed in 1997. It has a population of around 30 people who abide by ecological covenants[1] and sustainability guidelines,[2] but are otherwise responsible for their own finances, food, housing, and other necessities.

The ecovillage was featured in an episode of the FX television series 30 Days, where two non-residents stayed in the village, lived in a converted grain bin, and helped with projects such as gardening, natural building and cooking for a month. The village was also featured in the 2012 documentary short The Rhythm of Rutledge.[3] and an episode of My World, Too, which addressed sustainable practices and details of living in the ecovillage.[4][5]
