We welcome you to the
Orangeville Fiddle and Step Dance Camp located in the beautiful
rolling hills of Adjala Township, in Simcoe County. Join us for
instruction in traditional Canadian old time fiddling, traditional
step dancing and "Ottawa Valley" style step dancing with some of the
best instructors Canada has to offer.
The Orangeville Fiddle and Step Dance Camp is a camp for all ages,
designed to accommodate all skill levels and yes, beginners are
welcome! For experienced fiddlers, the camp is a great place to
enhance your skills, technique, and further develop your personal
style. Step dance students will learn new steps, improve their
abilities, and learn the principles of performance.
Additional workshops will
provide an opportunity for participants to gain insight into such
topics as playing "back up" fiddle, fiddle competitions and the
strategies of the competitor, jam etiquette, and stylistic playing
through expression, interpretation, and ornamentation.
Bring your recording device to
record instructions and new tunes.
Each evening there will be
special performances featuring one or more of our instructors
allowing them to "strut their stuff". Afterwards, there will be a
slow jam for all and participants can bring along additional
instruments to add to the experience.
Additional camp activities
will include swimming, outdoor activities, a barn dance, a teen
dance, and campfires.
On Friday night there will be
a final concert showcasing the achievements attained throughout the
week, an instructors performance, and one grand finale tune that
will include all participants onstage as a fiddle orchestra.
In a fun camp atmosphere, wonderful setting, and great food,
learning and making new friends will be an unforgettable experience.
Come join us for the time of your life. |
