We are pleased to offer this, our 9th contra dance week in Ely, England from April 2-9, 2025 with Wild Asparagus (Ann Percival, David Cantieni, Becky Tracy, Mark Murphy, Mark Hellenberg) playing with George Marshall as our anchor caller.  Also joining the band on stage this year will be callers Janet Shepherd and Terry Doyle. The British band Contrasaurus will play for us on April 6, 2025 with Charlie Turner calling.  Registration is by mail only and began with June 3, 2024 postmarks.

 

 

 

This is a residential dance camp for around 150 participants, with food and accommodations provided.  Dancing will be on a fully sprung wooden floor in a new building built in the traditional style, and will run from 7:30-10:30 pm each evening. The days will be available for exploring or relaxing.  We will be offering a number of excursions, usually including a palace, a stately home, a castle, a museum and some rambles. There will be a small additional charge for bus transportation for these. The dance week will cost $1450 for each attendee.  Single, double and a few multiple occupancy rooms will be available, all on a first come, first served basis.  Traditional calling terms will be used and we aim to gender balance the camp.
