Google+ for Argonne IFD

I activated Google+ for "Argonne IFD".  A couple of people seem to have found it and added Argonne IFD to their circles before I even did any more than just turn it on, and by those connections I found a few more to add to the circle.  If you're on Google+ and are so inclined, please check it out.  This blog will still be the main place where we post stuff for the group.  I'm still figuring out what makes sense to do with Google+, it may just end up being links to the blog posts.

While I was venturing further into social media, I also set up a Pinterest account.  Here's what I have there, so far:

Friday Oct 31 Dancing: Halloween Party

Since Halloween falls on Friday this year, we'll revive the old custom of having a folk dancing Halloween party - so, wear a costume, and bring snacks (or, just come as you are and eat snacks).  We'll try to come up with a list of Halloween dances, such as:

    Boo-fcansko
    Haunt-er Dro
    Ghost-elleme
    Pumpkin-vicanka

You get the idea... come prepared to add to the list (or, just come and dance)

Also, I started having trouble using realplayer to trim videos, but it turns out that it's even easier to do if you have a Windows 10 PC, just open the video in the "Photos" app, and there's a "Trim" button at the top right.

Sorry it took me a while to get these posted -- there's a limit on the file sizes that can be uploaded, and some of the video clips were too long and had to be trimmed and/or divided up into parts.  A handy free tool that can be used for that, by the way, is realplayer

For some reason, blogger seems to be having a lot of trouble uploading the videos after the first one, so I'm going to try doing a separate post for each one.

Ending our presence on meetup.com

Last spring, we decided to try setting up on meetup.com, to see if it would help improve attendance at regular Friday night dancing. Unfortunately, it does not seem to have had any effect on attendance, so we decided not to pay for another 6 months, so our meetup group will disappear from meetup.com after September.  Thanks to Susan for setting up and maintaining it, it was a noble experiment.  Too bad it didn't work out.

This blog will still be maintained, so check here for special events, cancellations, or miscellaneous stuff that I think you might be interested in :-)

"06.29.2014
Want to improve your mood? Just dance. This hour we’re talking with people who’ve found an easy way to keep themselves happy, to build friendships, and make art. We’re checking in with neuroscientists too, to hear just what happens in our brains when we’re dancing."

Not meeting Fri May 2, 2014

Because we'll be having our annual Stone Soup Party Saturday May 3, we will not be meeting to dance in Downers Grove on Friday May 2, we'll be home making soup.

I've been trying to figure out how to put the meetup.com RSVP widget here, but I can't quite get it to work.

In the process of getting the links for the previous post, with WBEZ's Worldview on soundcloud.com, I found other interesting stuff to listen to, for example:
https://soundcloud.com/evergreene/sets/balkan-arts-701-bulgarian-folk

WBEZ: Brass Band Music, May 2 CIMM "Brasslands" movie

There's a story on WBEZ (from their Worldview show) about global brass band music:
https://soundcloud.com/wbez-worldview/global-notes-brass-bands

The movie "Brasslands", about brass bands competing at the Guca festival in Serbia (including Zlatne Uste, whose music we often dance to) will be showing Friday May 2nd at 7:00pm at the Logan Theatre
as part of the Chicago International Movie and Music (CIMM) festival.

Since we won't be meeting for dancing Friday May 2 because we'll be having the Stone Soup party Sat May 3
you wouldn't even have to miss dancing to go see the movie.

Save the Date: Sat, May 3, 2014: Stone Soup

We've reserved the Fellowship Hall for our annual Stone Soup Party for Saturday, May 3, 2014.  Further details to come in a later post.

It was great to have such a good turnout for our Fri, March 7 get-together with Ethnic Dance Chicago, including dancers from more than just the two groups.  Seemed like that was almost the first Friday that it didn't snow so far this year, luckily.

In case you've been trying to remember the dances that were taught that night:

Paul taught "A Trip to Town-O" -- here's a link to a video of some 5th graders doing the dance, to remind you of the pattern: https://www.schooltube.com/video/28a47e03704467de8d20/

He also taught Damat Halay -- here's a link for instructions + various videos of that:
http://folkdancemusings.blogspot.com/2013/12/damat-halayi-turkey.html

Here's a video of Moonlight Swing:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32Jops3-SQk
 -- almost the same as what we do, except right at the end after the jazz box, where we do grapevines, the guy in the video does something slightly different

And here's Promoroaca: http://youtu.be/5qNWoyRmdqU -- if your memory is better than mine, you may realize that I goofed on the first part, and did 4 measures each direction, but it should be 8 measures all in the same direction, as in the video.

Sorry that I couldn't find any videos for "Cajun Express" that Susan taught.

In addition to google-ing for the name of a folk dance to find instructions or videos, there are a number sites that have a lot of them already compiled and indexed, here are a few:
