He has attended almost all folk dance seminars held in former Yugoslavia and eventually\, he became the instructor of several workshops held in former Yugoslavia\, Japan\, Israel and currently in Canada and the USA. As a well-known choreographer\, he was chosen by the Folk Dance Association of Serbia to be a judge at folklore competitions that were taking place in Serbia and Montenegro from 1980 to 1993. \nIn Canada\, Miroslav works in several dance associations and ensembles: Kralj Petar II from Winona since 1993\, \, Serbian Club “Kordun” since 2004 and he worked in S.C.A. “Oplenac” in Mississauga from 1993 until 2004 and in Folk Dance Ensemble “Hajduk Veljko” from Toronto from 1999 until 2006. Due to his long-term\, dedicated and victorious work in the Canadian Serbian community\, on December 26th 2005 Miroslav was awarded the Golden Plaque by the Cultural-Academic State Association of Serbia. \nIn 2004\, Miroslav established his own school of dance\, “Academy of Serbian Folk Dancing” which includes more than 300 dancers of all ages\, and a folk band instructed and directed by Mica Petrovic\, a music coach par excellence\, whose last forty years of his adult life have been dedicated to publicizing and promoting Serbian folk music. The Academy of Serbian Folk Dancing is the winner of the many artistic awards. More details… \nIntroducing Miroslav “Bata” Marčetić \nJoan Hantman\nJoan Hantman Joan Hantman began classical dance at the age of three and was performing “on pointe” on stage in downtown Boston by the age of eight. She was introduced to Israeli dance at Brandeis University\, and thus began the start of a lasting relationship. She has studied with most of the major choreographers and has been teaching and performing Israeli dance ever since. \nWithin Israeli dance\, Joan has danced with the performing groups Keren Shemesh\, Screaming Sa’adya and the Electric Camels\, Zikukim\, Parparim (with whom she performed at the Mets stadium in New York)\, and Bustan Boston (with whom she performed in the first Karniel festival in Israel). Joan was the coordinator and an instructor of the MIT Folk Dance Club’s Israeli dancing for more than a quarter century\, and was on the board of Directors for the Boston Israeli Folk Dance Festival. Joan has also been on the staff of Sababa camp in New York\, and now co-organizes the IFC camp in New York as well. \nWhile dancing at MIT\, Joan caught sight of International and Balkan dancing and a new passion ensued. She began attending workshops in the United States\, and then attended many dance seminars in Bulgaria\, Greece\, Israel\, Macedonia\, Romania\, and Turkey. She complemented Ercüment Kılıc’s teaching in the United States and has demonstrated dances with Israel Yakovee\, Shlomo Maman\, Avner Naim\, and Moshiko. International performing groups included Collage led by Ahmet Luleci and the Mandala Folk Dance Ensemble as both a dancer and artistic director\, (with which she performed throughout the northeast and in England and Hungary). Joan has also performed vocally at the prestigious Pirin Pee and Koprivštica festivals in Bulgaria. She currently sings with the Balkan band Veselba and with the Bulgarian chorus Superdevoijce. \nIn her spare dance time\, Joan can also be seen doing swing\, salsa\, and clogging dance\, or appearing as background in various movies and Internet or television shows. In real life\, Joan works as a nurse at UCLA’s Santa Monica Hospital.  \nIntroducing Joan Hantman \nHotels\nStatewide 2023 will be happening in San Pedro the weekend prior Memorial Day Weekend.
