3 years they ago joined forces with Cornish band Dalla to put on a joint Breton and Cornish dance evening. This proved successful enough for both bands to join up again at the Sidmouth Folk Week in 2009 for a similar event.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial Narrow"; font-size: large; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">French and Breton dance is a mixture or lively circle and set dances such as Bourees and An Dros and more romantic couple dances such as Mazurkas, Waltzes and Schottiches and is tremendous fun. The music ranges from the hypnotic to the raucous – the band breaking down into smaller groups and solo spots to add variety to the sound - with beautiful and unusual melodies that will leave you gasping!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: maroon; font-family: "Arial Narrow"; font-size: large; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">D’Accord have an additional member, <b>Carrie Atkinson</b> who is a dance teacher, who leads workshops in Breton and French traditional dance and can lead the dances at a Bal or Fest Noz when required.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: maroon; font-family: Arial Narrow;"><strong>Links</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.rootsandshootsdevon.blogspot.com/">http://www.rootsandshootsdevon.blogspot.com/</a><br />
