Marilyn Smith

Marilyn Smith has been teaching international folk dance in Santa Rosa for 48 years. Each year she organizes a weekend dance camp at Mendocino Woodlands near Mendocino in Northern California, inviting master teachers and musicians from the U.S. and abroad to be on staff. In the early 1980’s, Marilyn began researching regional folk dances of France. Her research took her to small villages throughout the French countryside. In the following years, Marilyn was able to bring both dance teachers and musicians from France to teach at workshops and camps here in California. Her repertoire includes dances from the Basque Conuntry, Auvergne, Berry, Gascogne, Béarn, and Brittany.
