I was asked to teach folk dancing at a grade school on the day of the Great American Teach-In, where teachers ask parents or friends to teach something to the students that isn’t a regular class. I taught 4 times – 1st, 2nd, 3rd and special kids. I was afraid they wouldn’t understand what “international” […]
Continuing with festivals, last Friday our gang attended the local Greek Festival at the Greek Church on Swann. We go every year and usually are never disappointed. This year however, they had the live music (great band) outside in the tent, instead of the main hall. It was cold, but we danced out there anyway, […]
I love it when I get to use 3 F’s – I think the word is alliteration. So! Melbourne (Brevard International Dancers) sponsored yet another very successful Fall Fling on October 29, hosting around 40 of us. We started at 11:00 a.m,, stopped for a delicious lunch, made by all of us […]
There was short notice for this performance, but those of us who managed to get to the show were certainly not disappointed. This incredible performance was held on October 27 at Lake Ashton, a gated community in Lake Wales, who has a room that includes a stage. The problem was that […]
I’ve been making buttons for years. And it seems the jobs always come in threes, as do good things, bad things, etc. This last few weeks I did some Zumba buttons for a friend that is giving personalized ones to her friends, and also starting to sell them; another friend that does karaoke is giving […]
The next weekend we went to the Serbian Church and had a good time! There was a wonderful 3-piece Serbian band, who played dance music for us. There was Serbian food. There was a performance by the children and teenagers of the church, and lots of dancing afterwards. A good time was had by all […]
A group of folk dancers decided to attend this year’s Oktoberfest, put on by the German-American Club in Pinellas Park. We have been to others, and the main problem has been to find seating in the large tent. So this year, we sent Dylan and Bonnie there to get us a table the minute the […]
Life is good! The 3rd of July found me at a party across the street from my daughter, with great food and good conversation with 2 guys who had traveled as much as me, and comparisons flew! We had to leave tho so Mick could go to work, so I went on to play music […]
May 22, 2010. Yes, there’s a city (if you can call it that) called Frostproof in Florida. And my friends Caroline and Gary live there. They have built a dance studio on their second floor and often have little gatherings. Although I had to miss bookclub, yoga and a performance by Dylan, Andy and I […]
originally posted on 11/28/2010 The last weekend in October – and yet one more thing to do! Andi and Ursula drove over to Melbourne on Friday night and danced with the Melbourne club. I went the following day instead with Bill, to our annual Fall Fling – a day of international folk dancing hosted by […]
