CULTURAL AND DANCE HOLIDAY AT LA MAISON ANGLAISE, TAROUDANT, MOROCCO
WEDNESDAY 21 to 28 FEBRUARY, 2024
Led by Paul Boizot
Following four great trips to Taroudant in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2022, we're running another week there in February 2024 This week will be at the exciting new premises - the Ecolodge.
See the brochure as available on the venue's website - different content to this page
Some dance experience is needed - Circle Dance or World Dance; or International Folk Dance if you are happy to fit in with the different approach taken in Circle Dance.
Venue La Maison Anglaise, an award winning ethically-run guest house at the ancient walled market town of Taroudant.
We’ll be looked after in Morocco by the 9 staff, who are experienced in running successful circle dance holidays and who manage the programme, guide, drive and cook for you.The new premises - the Ecolodge - has a large (8 metres x 8 metres) indoor dance space with sprung floor, and the option to dance outdoors in a large space at the end of the gardens - we danced outdoors most nights in 2023. Bedrooms - and everything else except the roof terrace - are on the ground floor. No stairs! There is a pool and lovely gardens. There is a small solar-powered hammam and a massage room, though there is still option of a visit to a local hammam.
Much more info is at LA MAISON ANGLAISE website. You can also see many reviews on TripAdvisor. La Maison Anglaise also supports a variety of charitable and community projects.
Meals The venue is renowned for its food. The cost includes breakfasts and vegetarian evening meals (meat or fish at extra cost), and lunches every day except one, when lunch is an optional extra. Special diets are catered for.

Getting there The nearest airport is Agadir, which is just 50 minutes drive from Taroudant. There are flights from Manchester and gatwick on Wednesdays. Airport transfers are included for the flights that we agree work best for the group. In any case don't book a flight until Jane confirms we have enough dancers and which flights are going to work best for the group. For non-UK dancers, look for flights to Agadir, and liaise with Jane. NB you must take out your own travel insurance - please do this when you book, so you are covered in case you have to cancel for any reason.
Programme The "default" plan is at least 10 hours of Circle Dance in the evenings. We usually fit in some extra daytime dancing too; that is easier now with the new dance space. Some dance experience is needed - e.g. Circle Dance, World Dance, or International Folk Dance.
Also available at extra cost are various excursions and cultural experiences, e.g a tour around town in a traditional horse-drawn taxi, walking in the High Atlas Mountains, massage, henna tattoos, shopping in the souk, Berber villages trip, oasis trip..... Lots to do! - see LA MAISON ANGLAISE website activites page. And you may want to just laze in the sun, or spend time wandering round the town....

About me I live in York, UK, and have taught dance since 1992. I have been told I am very clear in my teaching, and I like to teach with some humour. I particularly like Balkan, Romanian and Greek traditional dances as well as some modern and meditational ones. My choreographies include Ever-Flowing Spring, Ebb And Flow, Twilight, Here Now, Dreamers' Song, Shadows Of Greece, and Circle Mazurka. I am interested in how thw whole bodu is used in dance - using dance to improve posture, and vice-versa. I also sing, drum and play bouzouki. For more info, see DANCE & MUSIC.
