CIRCLE DANCE HOLIDAY IN PILION, GREECE
Friday 4 - Friday 11 September 2009, led by Paul Boizot
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 wooded mountain walks.
Some dance experience is needed - Circle Dance or World Dance; or International Folk Dance if you are happy to fit in with the different approach taken in Circle Dance. 
Venue  Kalikalos is on the mainland near Volos, in one of Greece’s more temperate areas. Beach, walks, woods. See website www.kalikalos.com for lots of detail and photos. Accommodation - shared rooms on site, plus some rooms in a guest house about 5 min. walk away in Kissos village. Possibility of single occupancy or camping.
Meals All meals are provided and included in the price, except for one taverna night out. Meals are usually basic vegetarian meals using mainly local produce.
Prices & booking details The centre is run on a non-profit basis, and has an ethos which values building community - dancers are expected to give 4-5 hours help during the week e.g. cooking one evening meal, washing up, etc. This also keeps the cost down. 
Charge for the week, inc. everything except travel (i.e. your flights and all transfers to and from Pilion) and a taverna meal, is £325/€450 for shared accommodation. Most rooms are double/twin, 2 are triple/quad. A supplement of £50/€75 (payable in advance) guarantees a double/twin, and £100/€150 a single room. Bookings are via the Centre's online booking page, or to me. A deposit of £100 is required. You can also spend an extra week at the Centre without participating in a workshop, if space is available.
Getting there  Accessible by ferry to Volos from Skiathos. There are regular flights to Skiathos from many UK airports, flights to Thessaloniki and Athens, some last-minute direct flights to Volos, and a taxi service, or possibly minibus share, to bring you from Volos. 
Programme  Fridays are arrival and departure days. Dance sessions run from Saturday to the Thursday, and will be mainly in the mornings and late afternoon/early evening. Afternoons will be mostly for relaxing. There can be other options, apart from dancing, if required – e.g. some singing, perhaps some simpler Circle/Folk dance songs. 
About me  I have taught dance since 1992. I am told I am very clear in my teaching, and I like to teach with some humour. I particularly like Balkan (inc. Rom/Gypsy), Romanian and Greek traditional dances as well as some modern and meditational ones. My choreographies include Ever-Flowing Spring, Wise Maid, Twilight, Hoireann O, and Butterfly Jig. I am interested in how the whole body is used in dance - using dance to improve posture, and vice-versa. I am also singer and musician. Join me in Greece – it’ll be great!
