A merry baker's dozen from North Holland Province in the Netherlands: the dancers -
in stunning traditional costumes: shared many traditional & more recent Dutch dances. Thanks to Ineke, their superbly capable choreographer, we were challenged to join-in.

Who came to dance with us ? And to share their lovely Dutch Dances in April 2014 ?
It's particularly nice be reminded of (or get to know) the individuals who came from Holland to join us -
- Their wonderful costumes too. Best try alternative access to their homepage via auto-translation... it has quaint language clarity; but this gives a 'general idea' in English about each person. (Read ALL their web pages too!)
For a photo of each person in the group individually - and details about them:
First you need to identify the group's relevant second page. Click on this straight after "Home" -
It may now show in translation as "Further acquaintance" even oddly, as "Waunifor". So now -
START 2) via "Google" TRANSLATION HERE... And continue to read ALL their other interesting web pages.
