Step into Being NOW - Pluck the day! Horace, Rome 23BC

For millennia the cold weather and long nights of winter have drawn humans closer into community for survival and celebration. This remains a social need - one that can be ignored and overlooked in busy, independent lives.

This evening and day of dancing and music will bring us together to come alive to ourselves, each other and nature as the days begin to lengthen.

Guided by Rachel and a group of skilled and sensitive musicians we will weave together improvised music and dance to warm body, heart and mind. You are very welcome!

If you are dancing on the Friday evening and want to stay onsite overnight ready for Saturday, please tick this registration option.

Earlybird Voucher: We will send dancers registering prior to December 10th a £10 coupon for any of the summer 2025 season dances.
