This week we welcome Jaap Leegwater & Mea Nordenfelt teaching Bulgarian dances, and Lee Otterholt teaching a selection of dances from various countries. They will start their workshop at 7pm. Instead of the Basics group, we will start the warm-up at 6:40pm. See warm-up dances below.
Pre-registration for the Lyrids Folk Dance Festival is done. However you can drop-in for individual workshops. See more about the prices here. Meals are not available to drop-in dances, except if there has been a cancellation.
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 group the dances taught in 3 year sections. See below the dances done from 2008-2010 for your interest. If you find a good link to add to our folk dance table, let me know!
