Here’s the latest information:First teacher: Željko Jergan – Croatian! We had the pleasure of Željkoback in 1998 and I think it’s time to have him again! See his bio, below –he’s quite a guy! Once you read it, you’ll know you have to be there!We have a “logo” for “Camp” 2010. See the picture on page 4. Any timeyou see it, you will know it is about camp 2010. It will be the T-shirtdesign, the buttons, the syllabus, the ads. I’m thinking white on black atthis moment, and there could be a reverse version - black on white. It’sthe opanci’s you liked on the black shirt years ago – sort of a come back!From the EditorHope some of you are going to Folkmoot (see Events) or have managedsome of the Greek festivals that abound in Florida.

Gainesville Gadaboutsby Jack SeltzerLast month we were anticipating our move to ourgroup’s new home in the Unitarian Universalist (UU)Fellowship hall. Now we can say it has been a greatbeginning. We're really lucky to have Joyce arrangefor this fine dance room. On June 19 Gary andPeggy were in for a short visit, back from threemonths in Morelia, Mexico and on their way to twoyears in the Peace Corps. He did a fine job of givingus Esmer and Gankino Horo again.Since then we’ve had some enthusiastic newcomersshow up at our new digs. On July 10 we had fivenew folks who stayed until the end and couldn’t waitto do the next dance! Some of these new folks havecontinued to come, like Kathy, Lisa “Klezmom” andAnna, and now Dan, Jenny and their eight month oldson, Christian. They are excellent beginner dancers,danced 80 percent of the dancers, smiledthroughout, and caught on fast.Dancing at the New Digs: Jack, John, Linda andJune. Nice T-shirts!A special thanks to Arlene and Charles for hosting agreat dance party all evening June 20. About 10PM, Margaret walked in and livened things up evenmore with her fine dancing and tales of her trip toTurkey and Romania – dancing in the streets and all.On July 3, we celebrated the 4th by heading over toSandy's Place for some karaoke, beer and salads.It was unusual but I don't think we'll quit early for itagain.Linda, Gary, June, Peggy, Marylin, Arlene and AnnaOn July 17 and August 15 we won’t be able to usethe UU hall, so we’re cooking up some otheractivities, like supper at Sandy’s Place on the 17th.At this point we're gliding thru the summer travelseason. We'll try to put a bigger push on publicity forAugust and September, when more students andother folks will be around.June 20 Party: Margaret and GaryPhotos by Julieta BrambilaClockwise from upperleft: Charles, Anna,Marylin, Joyce, PeggyReturn to Contents2www.folkdance.orgFlorida Folk Dancer July 2009

However, the groupis planning a field trip to dancewith the Melbourne group onFriday, July 31.A number of our dancers havebeen trying to escape the Floridaheat this summer. Phyllis Dammerand her husband, Ed, were isIllinois for the graduation of agrandson from high school, thentook a road trip to Lake of theOzarks and to Kansas City forPhyllis to see family. Nicki Wiseand her husband, John, took along road trip for most of themonth of May up to the Midwestand back; she was home a coupleof weeks and then they were off toCosta Rica.Mary Jean Linn and her husband,Bill Byars were in Asheville, NCfor the contra dance SummerSoiree.

We hear from Andi – sheis teaching some dances inVancouver. We miss her and lookforward to her return in September.Oh, How We DanceWhen I sent out the call for articlesfor this newsletter, I asked ourmembers to write about thedifferent types of dancing that theydo, comparing and contrastingwith international folk dance. Sofar, one response has come in,below. I'd like to present moreviews in future newsletters.Gary and I have become a littlefamiliar with the Scandinaviandance community in NorthAmerica in the last year or so. Aswe are hoping to do some moreScandinavian dancing thissummer, I will hold off until a laterissue to write about that.– CarolineFrom Bernice Roth:I do Scottish Country Dancing,English country dancing, LineDancing, Contra and Israeli. I findthat many of the steps in linedancing are taken from many ofthe International dances that wedo. They call them something elsebut they are vines and Yemenitesand cherkessiyas etc. The musicis different for all the categories,but the steps are the same.– BerniceReturn to ContentsFlorida Folk Dancer July 2009www.folkdance.org3

Tampa Triviaby Terry AbrahamsThe international group is short of people thissummer, so doing a very small amount of dancing. IfJudith is out of town, we don’t dance, if I’m out oftown, we don’t dance. Ursula comes when we do,Andy is in town, and that’s it. And to think Tampaused to be the King of the International groups inFlorida. Sob!So it’s all about me. I have to brag a little here. I didfinally go the USFA Nationals (fencing) and enteredthe very first ever 70 Women’s Foil and Sabre.Before I tell you about that, I was at the very first 60 and did take first! Well, I’ve done it again – I’m thenational champ in foil, third in saber. I had a greattime – winning is always good, but I also saw all my60 buddies. (I didn’t fence with them, though. I didn’twant to spend another 70; besides, thatcompetition is to qualify for the US team to go to theworld competition and I don’t have the to go toMoscow; so no point in fencing).I roomed with old friends, bought some newequipment, drank more than I ate (it was a veryexpensive resort) and even got to see an old highschool girlfriend who lives in Dallas. There will be70 competition at World for the men, but not forwomen, yet. All in all, a good week! I’m also havingmy knees fixed with some sort of injection, andthey’re already feeling better. I had cortisone shotsbefore I went to Nationals. Between skin docs, kneedocs, physical therapy, cancer docs, regularcheckups, like Bobbie says, I wouldn’t have a sociallife if it weren’t for my doctor appointments. Well, aslight exaggeration – I am playing my accordion witha couple of groups, at a couple of Irish pubs. Thisweekend we’re playing at a co-op art shop. Stilldoing yoga, still trying to get people to read mywebsite and buy buttons! Then I could take moretrips! So now me, me, me, is signing off.From the EditorWell, this is a short issue, coming out in the summerdoldrums and just a month after the last one. A lot ofour Florida dancers are traveling this summer. Ihope you are dancing a lot and/or seeing danceperformances and doing lots of other exciting thingsthat you can write about for the newsletter.Gary and I went to the Nordic Fiddles and FeetScandinavian Dance Camp in New Hampshire overJuly 1. Judith Baizan was there, too, and SandyCowan, who used to spend her winters on the Floridawest coast and come to Florida Folk Dance Camp. Ittook Sandy and I a while to figure out where we kneweach other from. I tried to talk her into coming to ourcamp again, but there is an annual dance event in thenortheast the same weekend.The camp was good, the dance teachers weregood, the music was good, and the food wasunbelievable, including breads baked on thepremises, a lobster dinner one night and anincredible smorgasbord the last evening. Thesetting, Camp Ogontz, is beautiful – on a lake, withviews of the White Mountains in the background.The only significant drawback was that it rainedevery day of the six we were there – sometimes allday.I don’t have the pictures that I’d like to have becauseall my camera batteries ran down before the lastnight, when people were dancing in costume. Thepicture below, left shows Loretta Kelly, one of thefiddle teachers at the camp, performing at a concertgiven by the music staff and students.–CLReturn to ContentsFlorida Folk Dancer July 2009www.folkdance.org5
