Not meeting Friday, May 31, 2013 - June Camp

We will not be meeting to dance in Downers Grove on Friday, May 31, because a number of us will be attending June Camp .  We should have some new dances to share the next Friday, June 7, when we will meet as usual.

June Camp Update

The deadline for registration, May 17,  is fast approaching. Iliana Bozhanova is the the main teacher.  Jaap Leegwater won't be able to attend, in his place Thea Huijgen, a Dutch folk dance teacher from the Seattle area, will come to teach Dutch and other international dances.
