The dancing at some of our events
Kenilworth Castle, Bodiam Castle and Kirby Hall
We pride ourselves in being able to entertain all age groups and dance is always the ice breaker. Demonstrations of courtly dances such as Alexandresca and Pavan give visitors an insight into the style of dance and the protocols required at court to attract interest from the right quarter.
Then the peasant dances such as Horses Brawle and Farandole, being danced above, a great chain dance with "extras". The children love it no matter what their age as the dancers skip their way through the maze of our campsites encountering "The Snail" and weaving in and out of their opposite number, usually ending with laughter and chaos.
