Judy King is a trained Physical Education teacher and has been teaching Circle Dance full time since 1984. She is an enthusiastic and humorous teacher who manages to combine these qualities with a teaching style that encourages awareness and precision. She is known for her ability to take you beyond the steps towards a deeper understanding of the movement within the dance.

As well as leading many workshops in Britain and abroad, she also teaches a biannual Circle Dance Teacher Training Course in the UK.

Judy says:

"I have had many people inspire me on my journey towards teaching Circle Dance and I thank them all, but perhaps the most influential person has been Friedel Kloke-Eibl. For her dances, her teachings and her friendship a special thank you.

A recent additional skill has been learning to play the flute and to stand in the centre of the circle to play for the dancers. This has been both a terrifying and thrilling experience and it would not have happened without the encouragement and belief of Mandy de Winter and the inspiring music composed for me 'to get me on the way' by Linda Rhodes. Thank you only touches the surface of my gratitude".
