Waltz Workshop with Jeanette Watts, Oct. 22 at Fermilab, and other upcoming dance events

Received from Mady:

Lots of fun dance events coming up, in addition to the late October Halloween fun.

Fermilab’s dance groups are sponsoring a special full-day and evening Waltz Workshop with Jeanette Watts on Saturday, October 22, at Fermilab’s Kuhn Village Barn.  Jeanette will be teaching Cross-Step Waltz and its variations as well as Mazurka Waltz . You can check out the former in this classic video by Richard Powers (one of Jeanette’s teachers)

and Mazurka Waltz is shown in the following

Details are on the flyer at http://www.fnal.gov/orgs/folkdance/WaltzWorkshop.pdf
There will be 3 workshops during the day (at 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.) and an evening Waltz party with some live music by Old Fezziwig’s Band in the evening. Workshops are $10 each, or there is a full-day-plus-evening price of $30.

The flyer doesn’t mention it, but I think  we’ll plan a potluck supper to go between the afternoon workshops and evening party. There is refrigeration in the Barn, and a place to plug in appliances, but no real kitchen.

Jeanette will also teach a workshop on the Basics of Bellydance on Sunday, Oct. 23, from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. That will be held on the stage at Fermilab’s Ramsey Auditorium in the Wilson Hall high-rise (where international and Scottish dancing is held in the summer).

I’m too modest to advertise the weekend *I* am calling and teaching this coming weekend, Oct.14 - 15, but I can forward on this mention from Sue Hanson of Urbana:
“If you are a dance gypsy and don't mind last minute plans …. this weekend of traditional
dance sounds like a good one.
They will have American, Folk, and English. Mady Newfield, our folk dance
instructor for Marchfest, will be teaching English and International. Dale
Schreiber will teach Old Time Contra Squares and Rounds. There will be live
music by the Cosmic Otters (English/American) and Do Zore (International).

And from Dan Garvin in Minneapolis, another reminder about the Oct. 28 – 30 weekend with Kete Ilievski teaching Macedonian dance at Tapestry.

“There is still time to take advantage of the early bird weekend package discount for Tapestry Folkdance Center's Fall Workshop with Kete Ilievski.  The weekend package price is $55 for Tapestry members or $65 for non-members if your registration is postmarked no later than 10/14/11.  This covers all four teaching sessions and the Saturday night dance party. 

After the 14th, both prices increase by $15 -- still a savings compared to paying for each event separately. “
