After many years as a mixed English/American dance camp, Fall Dance Weekend at Monte Toyon became Fall Frolick in 2008, and now focuses 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 Kalia Kliban and a large committee have orchestrated a weekend of elegant and rowdy dances, skills improvement, and deep pleasure.


Join us for 2 days and 2 nights of sublime dancing in the redwoods. We'll have English country dancing, contra, border morris, longsword, workshops for musicians, singers, callers and choreographers, a noisy auction, a silent auction, late night jams and silliness, and some of the best company you can have on the dance floor!
