New: HOROTEKA - Kitka's 10th anniversary party on April 13. Details below.
The Pirates band will be coming for our dancing pleasure on April 2, which is also our next party night. Bring snacks to share. Party extended to 10pm.
Partial registrations are now being accepted for Lyrids Folk Dance Festival. Register now here. For half-price you could be a work-exchange volunteer, if you don’t mind missing a few hours of dancing to work in the festival market and help with snacks, for example. Do you know someone (non-dancer, perhaps?) who would be interested in helping a lot, or being our photographer in exchange for meals? See more about the prices here.
Make sure to scan this newsletter for activities and events you might be interested in, and send in any announcements you would like to share with the other dancers to newsletter@burnabyfolkdance.org
Please direct suggestions and feedback to the contact form on the website, or directly to the club email.
This year we are celebrating 40 years! In order to finish the 40 years before the end of the season, each week I'll group the dances taught in 3 year sections. See below the dances done from 1993-1995 for your interest.
