This is a residential dance camp with food and accommodations provided.  Dancing will be on a fully sprung wooden floor in a new building built in the traditional style, and will run from 7:30-10:30 pm each evening. The days will be available for exploring or relaxing.  We will be offering a number of excursions, usually including a palace, a stately home, a castle, a museum and some rambles. There will be a small additional charge for bus transportation for these. The dance week will cost $1450 for each attendee.  Single, double and a few multiple occupancy rooms will be available, all on a first come, first served basis.  Traditional calling terms will be used and we aim to gender balance the camp.
