Folk Dancing in Oxfordshire
STONESFIELD 51st Folk Dance Weekend - Friday 9th June to Sunday 11th June 2023.
We are very pleased to announce our callers for the weekend are Victoria Yeomans & Ian Jones who are both very well known and sought after for Festivals & dances. We are equally pleased & lucky to have the wonderful "Deo Volente & Kendal Green" as musicians for 2023. We were fortunate to have this line up some 10years ago and we warmly welcome them back to Stonesfield for their 4th Stonesfield Folk Dance Weekend.
VICTORIA is an accomplished workshop leader and dance caller across full range of English Folk Dance. VICTORIA is found calling at other Folk Dance Weekends and dances throughout the Year. VICTORIA is known for her clarity of calling, her enthusiasm, and she brings the joy of dancing to every occasion. Victoria & Dave Yeomans run their own popular Llanishen Folk Dance Weekend each September.
In 2022 Victoria & Dave with Nigel Close & Fran Bulpit were at Stonesfield for our St.George's Day of Dance.
IAN calls all the folk dance genres and is considered one of the finest tutors around. IAN is an expert accordionist and with MARGARET his Wife they form the KENDAL GREEN BAND. IAN is in demand to call at Folk Events around the UK. Ian also started the popular Morlands Folk Dance Week.
Deo Volente play music with vitality and strength and such is their popularity the band is playing somewhere most weeks. Over the years the band has headlined at every major Folk Dance Festival. The Band comprises Dave Yeomans on accordion & Victoria on flute and we look forward to seeing them at Stonesfield.
