Many Lyrids Festival dances will be reviewed this week. Thanks to those who have made the effort to learn them well enough to teach! Reviews and Requests will be intermixed this week.
Jane will bring the best left-overs from the Lyrids Festival shop, for a second chance at BIFD on Tuesday, May 21. The shop will be set-up in the kitchen and open for shopping at the break. Bring cash for payment. Cheques also accepted.
Dances reviewed at BIFD last week were:
Jaap Leegwater: Djado Mitjovata, Pazardzijska Kopanica, Selsko Sopsko Horo
Lee Otterholt: Busuiocul, C'est une jeune mariee
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! See below the dances done in 2016 for your interest. If you find a good link to add to our folk dance table, let me know!
