Helga is also a solo dancer in the Ensemble and she assists Genc with his courses and teaches the women’s dances. They are both charming and warm-hearted people and will steal your hearts away. Mike and Clyde will provide live music for the weekend. This adds a whole new dimension to our residential weekends as they are able to offer live music for the social dances, and singing and music-making workshops for anyone who would like to have a go
