This website summarises the various things I do that might be of interest to others, primarily in the world of folk dancing. I call various aspects of country dancing, including:
- Historical, with a particular research focus on the 17th and 18th century dances of The Dancing Master, first published by John Playford).
- Contra, an American-led evolution of country dancing.
- English ceilidh, straightforward country dancing for all.
