Weatherby Pavilion - after the demonstration
|
|
Hi <<First Name>>,
Fantastic demonstration at Weatherby Pavilion on April 9. Thank you! Many of us were together again today for Otto Henning's memorial. His daughter and two sons put on a marvellous celebration of his life and legacy.
Only a few days left to register for Lyrids Festival, but you can still drop-in if you prefer. More information at https://lyridsfolkdancefestival.org/. Register by April 14 if you want any of the three meals. By the way, we are still looking for volunteers to help, mainly with putting out snacks.
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!
- Pre-festival workshop with Sonia and Cristian, Thursday, April 19, 7-10pm. $5 for members or BIFD prepaid dancers, $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 prepaid BIFD dancers and SIFD members, $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 Intercultural Showcase on May 12, 11-3pm at Guildford Recreation Centre, 15105 -105 Avenue, Surrey. Exact time to be determined. Website: https://www.surrey.ca/community/26419.aspx. See if you can find someone familiar in the poster.
- 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!
