Virtual Door County Folk Fest, Izvor live, July 9-10, 2021


This Friday evening, July 9, instead of our usual Zoom folk dance, we will be joining the virtual Friday night party of the Door County Folk Festival. (We'll return to our regular Friday night Zoom sessions the following week).

To get the Zoom info for the DCFF Friday party, go to https://dcff.net/ and click on "Zoom Registration".   Registration is free, but donations are welcome (there's a green button on the dcff.net web page).  Paul says: "Zoom will e-mail you a Registration Confirmation with a Session Link, but [DCFF] will email you the "real link" to use to enter the Festival."  Check out the other links on https://dcff.net/ to see all the scheduled dance workshops with teachers from around the world and other activities planned for the festival weekend, there's a lot more to it than the Friday party.

We also received e-mail from Michael K about associated live events  in Muskego, WI:

IZVOR ORCHESTRA invites you to a drought-busting two-night gig with two ways to reconnect with party-hearty folkdance friends, your favorite dances, and the compelling vibes of veteran Milwaukee musicians Fred Melk (clarinet, sax, frula), Nick Mladenovic (accordion), Stevo Petrovich (bugarija), & Ken Werner (bass)!  

If you are ready to rock in person, so are they! The band has snagged a great venue at
   Muskego, WI  53150
with wooden floor, views of the golf course, and your choice of Friday, July 9 (7:30 – 10:30)
    and/or Saturday night, July 10 (8:00 – 11:00).
Shell out 10 clams for one night  –or-  $15 for both evenings.
 
If you cannot join us in person, you can still enjoy IZVOR and the dance scene on these party nights as part of this year’s Door County Folk Festival Online – and participate in a truly international celebration of folk dance with lots of teaching, dancing, and other fun activities!  Check out the offerings at
