Cam-French - Traditional French music and dancing in Cambridge, UK |
"Cam-French" is two things: a monthly session of traditional French music
and dance, and a mailing list for the announcement and discussion of
traditional French music and dancing sessions held in and near Cambridge,
UK. We have a "welcome to Cam-French"
leaflet which might be of interest.

Here's a map to help you find
Grantchester Village Hall
- there's on-street parking nearby, but please don't block the access lane to the side of the hall! If you need a lift, please ask on the email list (see below) - there's probably someone who can help out.
All are welcome: you don't need to bring a dance partner. No previous
experience is necessary, you'll be taught the basics - and maybe some of the
"extras", depending on who's teaching! On club nights there's a fee of £2 each session
to cover the hall charges (musicians go free). Or you could bring a musical instrument and play along.
The music
Some of the tunes which have been played at the sessions are available
in PDF format (and in ABC format). You can view the file with
Acrobat
Reader (a free download). Yes, the music is incomplete... more
tunes will be added over time. A couple of past programmes are
available to help you decide what to practise! April, May, June, August 2005;
March,
September 2006; and
March 2009.
