The BACDS English Dance Week offers still another wonderful year at the historic Mendocino Woodlands Camp, near the Northern California coast.  Come prepared to participate in a camp experience that has been exhilarating campers for more than 20 years!  Spend your days going from class to class beneath the soaring redwoods, learning new skills and polishing old, and spend your nights dancing to glorious music in a hall full of friends.  The 2007 staff includes:

    - Dances from the Henry Playford editions of The Dancing Master (c1686-1703)
    - Advanced ECD: dances from early 18th century annual Walsh collections (1708-)
    - The Dutch Connection: dances old and new with a connection to the Netherlands
