BACDS English Dance & Music Week

August 21-28, 2011

 

 

Join us at our new location: the beautiful Bishop's Ranch in the Wine Country of Northern California. Near Healdsburg, Bishop's Ranch sits on a sunny knoll nestled among the forests, farms and vineyards of Sonoma County. The facility has a swimming pool, many lovely spaces for dancing, music workshops, jamming and parties, and a variety of housing from tent camping to dorms to private rooms with bathrooms.
