CIRCLE DANCE HOLIDAY AT ANILIO, PILION, GREECE, FRIDAY 4 - 11 SEPTEMBER 2009. This was good! Looking at running this, or something similar, again in a future year.... though maybe not in Greece.....Venue suggestions welcome! A week to both relax and dance, sharing circle dance together in a beautiful, peaceful environment, but with plenty of time to enjoy the beach, and mountain walks. Some dance experience needed. This event ran for the first time in Sept. 2007 at the Pilion Centre, to which we returned in 2009, but now under the auspices of the Kalikalos Centre. See separate Pilion page on this site for more details. Some photos from the 2009 event can be found online at Flickr.com.

SATURDAY JUNE 8, 11.00 a.m. - 4.45 p.m., SHEFFIELD. Day of dance - Romanian and Greek, with Paul Boizot. Dances mainly from Society for International Folk Dancing Summer Schools 2004 (Dimitris Triandafyllidis) & 2006 (Silviu Ciucumis) – list below. I hope to attract both folk and circle dancers to this event. Some experience of one of those, or similar, is needed.
I intend to run this day somewhere in between a typical SIFD workshop and a circle dance day. I will not be using a centre, or doing any attunements, etc. But we may do more dances than at a typical SIFD workshop. I will aim to repeat the most tricky dances enough times for people to learn them, but will also include some simpler dances which we may not repeat, or may only repeat once. I do not intend to video the dances, or to have CD and notes for sale at the event - but I can provide notes for some dances, and mp3 music, online after the event if required, and can make a CD if there is enough demand. Some of this partly depends on who turns up!
Possible dances for the day - I am open to requests to include any of these in particular;
Summer School 2004, Greek, learned from Dimitris Triandafyllidis;
Syrtos Baniotikos
Zervodexos
Tik
Mazemenos (Hassaposervico)
Siganos (with or without variations)
Summer School 2006, Romanian, learned from Silviu Ciucumis;
Zdroboleanca
Iedera
Sirba Popilor
Hora De Mina
I expect some of the above to form the bulk of the day, but other possibilities (not from the Summer Schools) include -
Trandafirul
Joc De Ulita
Drumul Dracului (modern Hungarian version)
Hora Mare Bukovineana (there are lots of these - this one is from Silviu Ciucumis via Marina Wostenholme)
Hora Dobrogeana
Vasilarhontissa
