SUMMARY:June Camp 2023
DESCRIPTION:June Camp\, a mainstay of the Midwest international folk dance community\, welcomes dancers from all over the U.S.A. and beyond! We especially pride ourselves on welcoming globally-known dancers and this year Tineke and Maurits van Geel will be our featured guests.  \nSee you at June Camp! \nTineke van Geel\nTineke van Geel Tineke van Geel received her degree as folk dance instructor in 1977. She specializes in Armenian dance and works as a teacher and choreographer. Since 1985\, she has regularly visited Armenia to study folklore at the Pedagogic Institute and Choreographic School in Yerevan. Part of each research trip was devoted to working with several amateur groups in Armenia and doing research on costumes. Two of those research trips were supported by scholarships of the Dutch government. On several occasions\, Tineke visited the United States to observe the dances performed by the Armenian communities there. \nTineke conducts workshops for students at various levels\, beginning to professional\, and has taught classes in international folk dance\, Dutch and Armenian dances in many countries of the world\, a fact that didn’t remain unnoticed in Armenia. In 2006\, she received an award from the Armenian government for her extraordinary devotion and energy in promoting Armenian dance\, music and culture. All her research in Armenia has made her a world-renown specialist of Armenian dance. \nIn addition to a pleasant sense of humor\, Tineke is an excellent teacher who can break down dance patterns step by step to enable every student to master the dances and to experience the joy of both learning and executing this exciting material. Combined with a vast knowledge of Armenian dance and culture\, these qualities have contributed to her worldwide success and popularity. Besides giving workshops in 14 European countries\, she has taught in the United States\, Canada\, Australia\, New Zealand\, Taiwan\, Hong Kong\, Singapore\, Malaysia and Japan. \nThe music for a large number of dances that were researched in Armenia had never been recorded. Therefore\, Tineke invited bands from Armenia to make recordings in a Dutch studio and she produced a number of compact discs on her own Van Geel Records label\, established in 1989. Recently these programs have also been made available on DVD. \nTineke has also conducted over 40 successful dance and culture tours to Armenia which have been attended by hundreds of participants from all over the world. Recently Georgia was also included in some tour programs. \nAlthough Tineke is known as an Armenian dance specialist\, she is sometimes asked to teach international folk dances because she has mastered a variety of styles and learned from many master teachers. \nMaurits van Geel\nMaurits van Geel  Maurits van Geel holds a degree in Arts and Crafts and Art History. He graduated as a folk dance teacher in 1977 and received his degree at Dance Academy level from the Ministry of Culture in 1986. He taught at folk dance clubs in Amsterdam and worked as a dance consultant for the City Council 1986-1988\, initiating dance projects in schools in combination with setting up dance projects and festivals. Also in the 1980s\, he specialized in the Appalachian clogging\, worked as guest teacher in Belgium\, The Netherlands\, and Germany\, and was invited to be a guest teacher at the Rotterdam Dance Academy. \nHe was employed by Het Internationaal Danstheater\, a professional dance company in Amsterdam\, first as choreographer and later as artistic director for 23 years (1988-2011). During his career\, he produced over 47 theatre programs in the field of world dance for this company. Part of this job involved several months of dance research each year in order to prepare for these programs. His travels have included India\, Pakistan\, Turkey\, Russia\, Armenia\, Azerbaijan\, Georgia\, and Cherkassy\, among many other countries. His archive consists of almost 900 DVDs\, with research material from all over the world\, most of it recorded by himself. He has also choreographed folk dances\, among them Syrtós Kitrínou\, Shantel\, and Tou Paradeisou Lemonia. \nSince 2011\, Maurits has been teaching dance\, often with his wife Tineke. They have traveled to many European countries\, New Zealand\, Australia\, Taiwan\, Hong Kong\, Singapore and Malaysia\, and were guest teachers at a number of folk dance camps and workshops in North America. \nIn November 2017\, Willem-Alexander\, King of the Netherlands\, appointed Maurits Knight in the Order of Oranje-Nassau for his extensive contribution to dance. \nDance Exchange\nPrograms such as the Dance Exchange give local teachers opportunities to shine. The Dance Exchange is a program of brief reviews by advance request\, of classic old dances that you can’t quite remember – or ones from past June Camps that have slipped away. Participants submit suggestions and our committee finds local teachers who can present them. You can get a sense of the range of dances that have been included in the past by looking at this list. Notes and music for the Dance Exchange dances will be available to all and videos will be included in the weekend’s video download package.
