In fact the mix of dances I described above are exactly what the dance weekend seems to be offering.
Bit like Lichfield festival but on a smaller scale.
Or the dance side of my favourite week of the year Whitby. So, remembering that Malcolm had quite a bit to do with Whitby this one should be good too.
One thing I enjoy at Lichfield that this doesn't seem to offer is something for those of us who can't dance non-stop all day (brain gets tired as well as body). Lichfield has playing for dancing workshops, and a shanty session in town. At Whitby, the choice is so great that you need a week with the programme in advance, and still find out what you've missed afterwards.
Hope it's still going next year, remind us earlier please.
