We have created a video DVD entitled
DANCING CONTRAS

A 30 min. introduction to contra dancing that explains the structure and teaches the basic moves.  It's a great way to explain this dance form to newcomers and to friends (who never could understand exactly what it is that you do!)      Click for more info.

MAY 21st - JUNE 1st,   2010

This will probably be a small group (8-10 people)

We will start with a weekend in St. Ives, CORNWALL,
walking and visiting local attractions.

Mid-week we will be attending a walking/dancing event at HALSWAY MANOR
with Ian & Val McFarlane calling and the incomparable Belshazzar's Feast playing.

We will end with the CHIPPENHAM  FOLK  FESTIVAL;
in our opinion the best weekend of dancing in all of England.

We are sorry to have had to cancel the trip in October 2008; our local UK Trading Standards Office wants us to comply with regulations that were intended for commercial travel agents.  Which is fair enough but it makes it far too difficult for us to continue to organise these trips.   We would be very happy to help anyone to organise a trip for themselves though.
