The European Square and Round Dance College is the oldest running square
and round dance week in Europe. It was originally started in 1968 by
Cal Golden, who was at the time in the American Military in Europe.
Since then, as the military members rotated back to the States, it was
passed on to another calling or cueing couple to run. This is the only
week-long dance in Europe that features both squares and rounds in 3
halls, running 3 programs continuously the whole week. This great dance
week is held in Cham, Germany,
in Bavaria, about 1 hour North of Munich and close to the Czech border.
After a "welcome dance" on Easter Sunday, the week starts off at 9:00
AM with three round dance workshops. Each morning, Monday - Friday,
we have a workshop teaching phase III-IV, phase IV-VI and phase V-VI.
Every afternoon you can take part in one of the three square dance classes.
There is the opportunity for you to learn the Plus program, the A1 program
or the A2 program.
The two organizing couples are Gert-Jan and Susie Rotscheid and
Dave Wilson. Gert-Jan and Susie handle the administration
and logistics as well as teach rounds. Dave is one of the callers for
the week.
We have 2 featured guest callers with usually at least 1 from The
States, and 2 featured guests cueing/teaching couples with at least
1 from The States.
But
the week is not only workshops!
Each evening we feature 3 complete square and round dance programs;
something for everybody! And if that is not enough, there are afterparties,

We would love to have you join us for this great, fun-filled week,
but remember, there is limited hotel and dance space.
So fill a registration form in early.
The
convention hotel is the Randsberger
Hof. This is a very nice hotel, incorporating part of the old city
wall. The rooms are comfortable, all with private shower or bath. The
hotel features among other things, a heated swimming pool, Turkish bath
and fitness room.
