Dancing at Halsway Manor


 Halsway Manor (pronounced Hallsey) is in Somerset.  It is another wonderful old house, now run as a centre for Folk Music and associated arts and dance.  Hazel Young runs a dance holiday here every year. She did mostly traditional European dances, with a smattering of new choreographies.  I met up with about 6 people I had already danced with earlier this year, which was nice.  I never did master the other 30+ names of the dancers.





We danced outside once or twice.  But one couple were out dancing by the summer house the whole time!!!.

The grand entrance hall, and a mosaic in the garden depicting all things 'folk'.  Each panel was made by a different group of children.
