Birthday Party Dancers last week
|
|
Hi <<First Name>>,
Bring your requests to dancing this week. See https://surreyfolkdance.org/dances/ for a list of dances. Many of them have directions and/or videos. We can also work on finishing the birthday party list from last week.
Have a look at https://lyridsfolkdancefestival.org/. All of you are encouraged to register for all or part. If the price is prohibitive, we need work-exchange volunteers! You can be part of the festival without paying so much! Prices here.
Extra events are optional and are listed here for your information. If a couple of hours of dancing once a week on Thursdays is as much as you want or can manage, that is fine!
- March 24, we will have a display table at the Active Aging Resource Fair. Location: Guildford Recreation Centre, 15105 105 Ave. Time: 9am - 3pm. Setup: 8am. Let me know if you can volunteer for a 2 hour shift at the table.
- March 22 and March 29 are Spring Break, and the school is closed. Dancing will be in my studio at 16479 92A Ave on those days. You can park in the driveway. Obey all street parking signs. In the mix of dances done, we will try some of the dances I will have recently been taught at festivals in Laguna, CA, and San Antonio, TX.
- Sometime in April or later, demonstration at Weatherby Pavilion where Jeannette is living.
- Pre-festival workshop with Sonia and Cristian, Thursday, April 19, 7-10pm. $5 for members, $10 for drop-ins.
- Lyrids Folk Dance Festival, April 20-22, 2018. Featured teachers will be Sonia Dion and Cristian Florescu. Registration is open with over 80 full-time registrants so far. Part-time is possible. See price list here: https://lyridsfolkdancefestival.org/fees/.
- Post-festival workshop with Sonia and Cristian, Tuesday, April 24, 7-10pm, at Charles Rummel Community Centre in Burnaby. $5 for paid-up dancers, $10 for drop-ins.
- Demo at Fleetwood Villa, 16028 83rd Ave, on Sunday, May 6, 2-3pm for their open house with a multicultural theme. Meet there at 12:30pm. Let me know if you are available to help.
- Demo at Fleetwood Villa, 16028 83rd Ave, on Friday, June 8, 2:30-3:30pm. Meet there at 1pm. Let me know if you are available to help.
- SIFD Summer BBQ on Saturday, July 28, 3pm-10pm, at Don's farm, 25133 0 Ave, Aldergrove. Folk Voice Band of Seattle will play live music for us! Walk around the farm, dancing, then pot-luck dinner/BBQ, followed by more dancing!
Happy Dancing,
Dale
