Not dancing Friday Nov. 27 nor Friday Dec. 25, 2009

We will not be meeting to dance in Downers Grove on the Friday after Thanksgiving (Nov. 27), nor on Xmas day (Friday Dec. 25).

According to the EDC schedule , it looks like EDC may be holding dance parties at the SPACE Academy Arts Center in Chicago on those two Fridays, and possibly on New Years Day, as well (the schedule has question marks at the moment, so be sure to check).

Since we're holding our annual New Years Day potluck on Friday Jan 1, 2010, in the afternoon, we won't be dancing that Friday night.

Fermilab folk dance news - Dec 13 performance

Received from Mady

Fermilab International Folk Dancing will be taking some breaks for the holidays. We will not dance the week of Thanksgiving. We’ll meet again on Dec. 3, and Dec. 10, and then break until January 7, 2010.

You can catch the Fermilab International Folk Dancers doing Welsh folk dances for the Cambrian Society at the Museum of Science and Industry’s Christmas Around the World Festival, on Sunday, December 13 at 2:30 p.m.

Also, here’s an early heads-up on a workshop at Fermilab with Romanian teacher Daniel Sandu, probably on Thursday, January 22. Stay tuned for date confirmation and details.
