She has delighted dancers both with quick teaching and excellent dancing since 1980. Laura Mé has called in far-flung Montana and Alaska as well as up and down the West Coast.

A past editor of the American Morris Newsletter, she is one of the very few people to have done graduate work in morris dance. As such, she's particularly well-suited to teach the styling of different Cotswold traditions. Jocelyn co-programmed Fall Weekend in 1996 and 1997, and programmed <A HREF="http://www.bacds.org/eweek/">BACDS Mendocino English Week</A> in 2001 and 2002. <PA> Jocelyn was scheduled to teach at Fall Weekend in 2000 but was felled by flu.

Other workshops and evening dances will only be suitable for children who can dance at an adult level; some other activities will be available at this time. Parents are responsible for their children throughout the weekend. A parents' cooperative will be organized so that everybody gets time to dance.
