ROOKHOW CENTRE, 
GRIZEDALE FOREST
CUMBRIA

‘September Steps’
Friday 24 – Sunday 26
September 2004

A Circle Dance Residential
Led by
Helen Oak and Paul Boizot

Including some live music.

A weekend to relax between Summer and Autumn, sharing circle dance together in a beautiful, peaceful environment.

Some dance experience is needed.

Rookhow, originally an 18C Quaker Meeting House and Stables, sits in 12 acres of woodland in the hamlet of Rusland, only a mile from the borders of the Grizedale Forest, Lakeland. We will also have use of the Parish Rooms for dancing.

We offer a flexible programme.  As well as dancing to recorded and live music, past options included singing, dancing outside if the weather is good; and for Saturday afternoon, drumming, quiet space in the yurt in the woods, or time to explore the area. Other possibilities this year to be decided……

Sleeping
The main sleeping area is in single beds in 2 small, comfortable dorms at the Rookhow centre.  Some camping is possible. Several double rooms are also available next door at ‘The Old Vicarage’, where local dancer Nigel Woodhouse lives.  Ring for details.

For this "quick download" version of the leaflet, I have left out the nice picture of Rookhow Centre that should go here, and also another graphic on the front panel.

Helen Oak leads dance groups in Greater Manchester and Cheshire and has for many years led special seasonal celebrations, combining her love of circle dance, song and live music.  She is a
powerful and sensitive vocalist and also plays drum and recorder.  

Paul Boizot lives in Sheffield and has taught since 1992. He is noted for clear teaching and humour. His choreographies include Ever-Flowing Spring, Wise Maid, Twilight, and Butterfly Jig. He particularly likes Balkan and Greek dances as well as some modern ones. He sings, drums and plays bouzouki.
