Dance, along with all forms of creative expression (music, craft and drama) have always been important in Woodcraft Folk.
Whatever the dance, be it English Country, Ceilidh dancing or any other, the focus for Woodcraft is on the group. It can't require expensive kit, or particular body types and must be for anyone to join in.
