ome join usat the magnificent Mendocino Woodlands for a week of English

dancing, music-making, singing, feasting, and merry abandon.We

offer classes in historic and contemporary country dance, display

dance, music, and song. We promise a program that will challenge

and delight both new and experienced dancers, complete with the time-honored morris

tour toMendocinoand our daily,much-loved singingby the steps.

he MendocinoWoodlands camp lies deep in a quiet redwood forest a few

miles inland from the coastal townofMendocino, a four-hour drive north of San Francisco.

This secluded, lush, and temperate setting imparts a special energy that has drawn dancers

andmusicians for years.

hroughout the day you'll have ample opportunities for both learning and

leisure, time to explore new skills, and time to enjoy new friends. You can dance andmake

music all day long, or you can pace yourself, and take time to explore the redwoods or to

swim in the nearby creek. At night there will be more dancing, plus some special

entertainmentor an after-hours diversionbefore you retire.

ccommodations at theWoodlands are solidly-built, rustic redwood cabins,

each housing two people. Each cabin, while without electricity, has its own stone fireplace

and wooden balconywith views of the pond, the meadow, or the majestic redwood trees.

Nearbybathhouses are equippedwith electricity and plenty of hotwater.

her second year at Mendocino after a spectacular debut. Anticipate incomparable meals

and snacks,with afternoon tea to renew flagging energy.
