OTHER DANCE AND MUSIC PAGES - CONTACTVENUE WANTED for RESIDENTIAL Circle Dance events, possibly including New Year booking. Midlands/Welsh Borders/North, must have uncarpeted room which can take 20 in a circle for dancing and be reasonably priced. Self-catering preferred.
VIDEOSBelow are links to some videos of a few of my more recent Circle Dance choreographies. Each will open as a new page.
Teachers may be able to teach these dances from a combination of the video and notes. But of course I still welcome invitations to come and teach day or longer workshops including these or others of my recent choreographies, or indeed on other themes including traditional dance. See here for many other workshop themes which I can offer.
There are links on each video page to written notes for each dance in .doc format (should open in your word processor e.g. OpenOffice.org, MS Word). The notes are aimed at Circle Dance teachers, and use a fairly common Circle Dance notation, to which there is also a key. So far I have only put up videos of dances whose music can be bought online, or is available on the Circle Dance network. A comprehensive list of my choreographies, with music sources, can be seen at DANCE & MUSIC.
None of the videos is full-length, so there should be no copyright problems with the music as you cannot extract a full-length version of the music from the audio track. Links are given if you want to purchase a legal version of the mp3, where possible. These are usually to Amazon.co.uk
- if you buy the music or anything else on Amazon via my links to their site, I will get a commission.
Thanks to Diane Nutt, who filmed some of the videos. The early videos were filmed with a digital camera, so the quality is not so good. Later ones are good quality HD.

HOW TO SAVE VIDEOS TO YOUR HARD DRIVE
All the videos bar one are embedded versions from my YouTube channel. But you can also download a version to your hard drive. For this, right-click on the link and select "save link as" (Firefox) or "save target as" (Internet Explorer).
After you have downloaded the file, double-click on it, and it should play in whatever the default media player is on your computer. If you have Windows, Microsoft has given you the Windows Media Player (helps stop you going off and bothering to look at other companies' products....) but that may not play .mov files, so download the .mpg version if there is one (the .mpg on this site are not such good quality as the .mov). More recent videos are in .mp4 format. The .mov format will play in Apple Quick Time, which you will probably have on a Mac or may have got bundled with ITunes. If you want to download a good free media player which will play most common formats including the newer .mp4, I recommend VLC Media Player.
