Jaap Leegwater teaching at Fermilab Apr 26 + May 3

Received from Mady:

Hi and happy Spring!

I have hot-off-the-press news of a special event coming up at Fermilab International Folk Dancing:

Jaap Leegwater, the well-known Dutch teacher of Bulgarian folk dance, will be making a visit to the Midwest and will do a special workshop at our group on Thursday, April 26, and follow up with a review session the following week, on Thursday, May 3.  We're very pleased and excited to have him for this unexpected appearance!

The workshop will be held at Fermilab's Village Barn, on the Fermilab site, starting at 7:30 p.m., both Thursdays.  We hope you can join us!

You can download a printable flyer about this at www.fnal.gov/orgs/folkdance/

In one other bit of late breaking news, I just heard that we can't use the Barn April 19 because of a lab function. So dancing will move to Ramsey Auditorium that evening.
