After many years as a mixed English/American dance camp, from 2008 forward Fall Dance Weekend at Monte Toyon will now focus primarily on English Country Dance, Display Dance (morris / sword / clog), music and song. Come to Fall Weekend for a weekend of English country dance with world-class callers and musicians, a full and varied Display dance program, fellowship and fun.
Programmer Sharon Green and a large committee (including former managers Alan Winston and Vanessa Schnatmeier, new manager Victoria Williams, previous treasurer Lise Dyckman, new treasurer Mary Luckhardt, and many more) bring you a weekend of elegant and rowdy dances, skills improvement, and deep pleasure.
