For some other types of dance in and around Yorkshire and Derbyshire, see LINKS.CIRCLE DANCE HOLIDAY AT ANILIO, PILION, GREECE, FRIDAY 4 - 11 SEPTEMBER 2009. This was good! Looking at running this, or something similar, again in a future year.... A week to both relax and dance, sharing circle dance together in a beautiful, peaceful environment, but with plenty of time to enjoy the beach, and mountain walks. Some dance experience needed. This event ran for the first time in Sept. 2007 at the Pilion Centre, to which we returned in 2009, but now under the auspices of the Kalikalos Centre. See separate Pilion page on this site for more details, and also see Kalikalos website for info about the organisers, travel possibilities, accommodation options, etc. Some photos from the 2009 event can be found online at Flickr.com.
