SUMMARY:Fall Camp 2025
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Fall Camp 2025 for another magical\, fun-filled weekend of dance\, music\, crafts\, nature\, and camaraderie.  \nThis year\, Fall Camp 2025 will feature one main teacher\, Catherine Rudin\, plus several of our own California-based dance teachers.  Catherine will present an eclectic mix of forgotten-classic and recent captivating dances\, with particular attention to styling details that make a dance specific to a time and place. She has danced for more than 5 decades\, enjoying a wide variety of styles and traditions. She has both family and linguistic research ties to the Balkans\, especially Bulgaria. Balkan music and dance are her roots\, but she loves and participates in other traditions as well. \nIn a return to a practice from the first Fall Camp and Camp Hess Kramer\, several experienced and skilled California dance teachers will also present great dances that campers will enjoy learning. \nDancing will be in the magnificent\, air-conditioned Wapner room\, on a wooden dance floor.  Fall Camp offers many other activities\, including: \n\nDance parties on Friday and Saturday evening (Yes\, we will solicit your dance requests in the weeks before-hand)\,\nMeals together\, Happy Hours\, and other socializing with our precious dance friends\,\nThe opportunity to play an instrument and/or sing in the Potluck Band\,\nArt/craft projects in the campus’ inspiring environment\,\nMorning stretching sessions and nature walks in the tranquil\, outstandingly natural landscape\,\nExpertly-led star\, and maybe satellite-gazing\, well away from LA’s city lights.\n\nCampus\nOnce again\, Fall Camp will be on the beautiful rural Brandeis-Bardin Campus near Simi Valley\, with its comfortable motel-style rooms in an idyllic\, natural setting. Nestled in a woodsy alcove\, the campus is a lovely place where you can enjoy being close to nature while still having the creature comforts of excellent meals (upgraded from previous years)\, motel-style rooms (with private bathrooms\, heat\, and air conditioning)\, and more. You can dance when you feel like it\, and when you don’t\, do other things such as catching up with friends\, playing Scrabble\, working on a jigsaw puzzle with others\, getting a massage\, completing a craft project\, going for a walk in nature\, reading a good book\, meditating\, or doing nothing at all. You don’t have to get on a plane or drive treacherous mountain roads to be with nature\, and WiFi is available too! \nAbout 40 miles northwest of Los Angeles\, near Simi Valley\, Brandeis-Bardin is a lovely and comfortable place to spend a weekend dancing with friends. The beautifully landscaped grounds have many mature trees and offer breathtaking views of the Santa Susana Mountains. The camp’s address is 1101 Peppertree Lane\, Brandeis\, CA 93064. Fly into Burbank or LAX. \nFall Camp Registration \nRegistration\nNote that the Folk Dance Federation of California\, South\, Inc. requires participants to sign a waiver that is included in the file.
