Come join us June 14-21, 2026, for Hey Days, the annual BACDS English Country Dance and Music Week, at Green Mountain Retreat in the Santa Cruz mountains near Los Gatos, California. We look forward to a wonderful week of dancing, singing, music-making, and friendship, with a good dose of merry abandon.
In addition to many fun English Country Dance classes, evening dances with fabulous music, stimulating music workshops, lots of singing, and a daily gathering, Hey Days 2026 will feature a special Music Intensive for experienced English Dance Leaders, taught by Gene Murrow. We will also have classes in Longsword, Reconstruction, Early American dance, and Storytelling, as well as camper-led Grab Bags. There's something for everyone!
Staff includes Kalia Kliban, Gene Murrow, Sharon Green, Susan de Guardiola, Charles N. Adams, Jr., Jacob Chen, Cynthia Shaw, Shira Kammen, Jim Oakden, Karen Axelrod, Eric Martin, Laura Kuhlman, and Mara Shea. Our sound engineers are Christopher Jacoby and Alicia Cover.
Registration opens Monday, January 5. The lottery deadline is postmark Friday, February 6.
