Peace Dancing @ Loudwater Farm with Ralph & Vitalija, March 2010
This weekend is suitable for complete newcomers as well as "old" peace dancers:
"If you can talk, you can sing. If you can walk, you can dance" (African saying).
If you are interested to be invited to Ralph's & Vitalija's next Spring & Autumn Weekends,
please join Ralph's DUP-weekend e-mail list - or
subscribe to Ralph's monthly London DUP e-Newsletter on http://eepurl.com/frZfo
It is possible to come for one day or part of the weekend, but we recommended to stay over night for all the weekend, which will allow you to enjoy the dances & the weekend much deeper.
Beginners are warmly welcome - no experience of singing or dancing required.
It is possible to stay on Sunday night at Loudwater Farm - please arrange with Angela (beds need booking).
Ralph is a certified peace dance teacher and Mentor-in-training. He has shared dances with many people in England, Germany and Latvia on several occasions and is experienced in creating a relaxed joyful and open atmosphere. He usually accompanies the dances with his drum; his wife Vitalija plays gitar.
