Hello Dancers,
It was an outstanding 6th annual Stamp & Camp last weekend. Thanks to everyone
who came, brought yummy foods and so many dances we haven't done for a while.
The weather was ideal for stamping and camping, and we even got to christen
Marvin's new deck with a few dances. Max, Eva & Cecelia all sent special thanks
to our group for organizing and hosting the event.
The Kalispell group will dance again Saturday July 4th at the usual venue,
the Salvation Army Church gym at 110 Bountiful Drive a block south of Kalispell
Regional Hospital. Regrettably, Rose & I will miss this week due to a conflict,
and we will miss next week as well because we are heading over to Butte for
the National Folk Festival. I think the group will dance in Kalispell next Saturday
July 11, but Russ & Missy will be gone as well, so those who meet tomorrow night
will need to sort out plans for July 11.
As for the National Folk Festival, Cecelia sent the following:
You're invited to a dance party! Please forward this to International Folk
Dancers, especially if they're coming to Butte for the National Folk Festival.
Saturday, July 11th
9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
St. John's Episcopal Church
15 North Idaho Street
From I-90, take Montana St exit. Go north.
After Park St., turn left (west) onto Broadway. Go 1 block.
Church is across from library. Use Broadway entrance.
This is likely a good spot to park at 9 a.m.
No cost, but please request your favorite tunes now. I'm not planning for
teaching or review, but there will be plenty of familiar dances for you to
join in.
The Festival itself starts up at noon on Saturday. I'd like to dance to the Otrov
(Croatian Tamburitza) orchestra at noon on the Original Stage, so plan for a last
dance by 11:30 am. http://www.ncta.net/index2.htm
A special guest at the party will be Ron Houston. He puts out the bright pink
Folk Dance Directory that's sponsored by the Society of Folk Dance Historians.
He's been wanting to meet our Montana dancers and organizers. Come and welcome
him to the Big Sky! Here's the society's site. Click on "Encyclopedia" to see
their work on various dances:
