Not meeting Friday Sept 18, 2015

We will not be meeting to dance on Friday, Sept. 18, 2015, the weekend of the Oconomowoc Folk Dance camp.  We should be back the following Friday with some new dances to share.

Hava Nagila - The Movie, on WTTW-Create/lWorld

http://www.pbs.org/program/hava-nagila/

You'll recognize a lot of other bits of dances and tunes, in addition to Hava Nagila, in this hour-long documentary.  And an amazing variety of renditions (including a Muppet playing it on the bagpipes...)

We just saw it on WTTW-Create/World, looks like it repeats at midnight tonight, if you happen to see this before then.  Otherwise, hopefully it will come around again, or you can get the DVD, maybe check it out of the library....
