The BACDS English Dance and Music Week offers another wonderful camp at the historic Mendocino Woodlands Camp, near the Northern California coast. Come join us for a week of dancing, music-making, singing, feasting, and merry abandon.

We offer classes in historic and contemporary English country dance, display dance, music, and song. We promise a program that will challenge and delight both new and experienced campers, complete with the time-honored Morris tour and pub sing in Mendocino, campers night, singing by the steps, and a daily gathering for campers and staff to share hidden talents.
