Other info you need to know before signing up
Practice season runs from October every Thursday until April 23rd 2025.
A review of new dancers will take place before the Christmas break.
Summer season starts from late April till mid-September 2025 and consists of a minimum of 3 outs and 1 festival weekend per month.
Being part of Beltane is a pretty big commitment of rehearsing every week during winter (in Chudleigh, South Devon), and 3 Thursday evening performances and one weekend (festival) performance per month during the summer season (May till mid-September).
During the summer season, this includes being willing to travel to festival locations that may be up to a 2, 3 or 4-hour drive (there are car-sharing options).
All overnight stays (most of us camp together), meals and transport are self-funding.
These are all important things to consider when wanting to join Beltane as, besides being good at dancing, we also look for consistency of participation from our members (within reason). Please let us know if you intend to come to the tryout on Thu, Oct 17th at 7.45 pm by emailing us at beltaneborderbag@gmail.com
