Article about how dancers think when they dance

Bob K, who used to dance with us, forwarded this interesting article:

Youtube video of Merengue-dancing dog

Bonnie forwarded this video, it's pretty impressive -- the dog has better balance on 2 legs than I do!:

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.

2014 Stone Soup Party: Saturday May 3 1pm-6pm

Argonne International Folk Dance

Stone Soup Party  

Date: Saturday, May 3, 2014 

Time: 1:00pm-6:00pm, potluck meal around 3:00pm 

Place: St. Paul's UCC Fellowship Hall 

Address: 5739 Dunham Rd.,Downers Grove, IL 

Requested Donation: $3 + Potluck dish to share 

In order to spend more time dancing and less time cooking during the party, the soups will be made ahead.  If you'd like to volunteer to bring a soup, let us know (or just show up with soup, the more the merrier!)  You can let us know in person at Friday night dancing, or by e-mail, or by posting a comment on this post, or on the meetup.com event: http://www.meetup.com/http-argonneifd-blogspot-com/events/174398662/

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.
