His passion for traditional music and dance began in his childhood\, dancing with his family in his parents’ villages of Alona and Akrites in the Florina region of Greece. Today\, his knowledge extends beyond that of the Greek Macedonian people indigenous to the area. Since 1990 he has conducted research on the impacts on Florina dances due to the migration of social groups and ethnic minorities to northwest Greece\, such as Vlachs\, Sarakatsani\, and refugees from Thrace and Asia Minor. He also has participated in comparative research studies of Macedonian communities beyond the Greek borders. In 1994 Yannis produced The Musical Tradition of Florina\, a long-playing album\, in collaboration with the Center of Greek Tradition. \nYannis is President and Artistic Director of the “Lygkistes” Cultural Association and a founding member of The Academy of Traditional Folklore Dance and Music located in Athens\, Greece. He is actively involved with the “Association for the Preservation and Dissemination of Traditional Dance and Music” whose members are dedicated to sharing with children and youth living in urban areas an appreciation of traditional lifestyles of the outlying areas of Greece. Since 2001\, he has been the Director of the student dance association of the Balkan Studies department of the Aristotle University of Thessalonika.  Yannis Konstantinou is very well-known as a teacher of Greek Macedonian dance and culture throughout Greece and Europe and among those North Americans who have had the good fortune to experience the dance seminars he organizes annually in Agios Germanos\, overlooking Lake Prespa. \n\nCesar Garfiaz – Salsa Rueda and More\nCesar Garfiez Cesar Garfiaz was born and raised in Los Angeles \, CA (Hollywood). He has been hyperactive since early childhood\, and has always enjoyed moving. Being partly raised by his aunt\, Garfiaz was influenced by her affinity for Salsa. He began dancing Salsa at the young age of seven\, going on Sundays to Steven’s Steakhouse with his Tia Raquel. In high school\, he  was part of a performing arts class for two years\, where he learned of his passion for performing. Garfiaz joined UCLA’s Department of World Arts & Cultures in the Fall of 2004. In the Spring of 2003\, Garfiaz began working and collaborating with Ana Maria Alvarez and was a cast member of her original thesis concert “contra-tiempo”. Over the past seven years he has studied various styles including modern\, hip hop\, house\, tai chi\, Ghanaian\, Mexican Folklorico & Afro-Cuban. As a part of UCLA’s Repertory Tour Ensemble\, Cesar performed and inspired young people in high schools all over Los Angeles. Through his work with Rep Tour\,  he became passionate about youth arts education\, and is continuing this important work with his involvement in CONTRA-TIEMPO. He currently teaches Salsa and Latin Dance at Cal Poly Pamona and at several studios around Los Angeles. As a founding member of the company\, he is committed to seeing this group actualize its’ full potential as an agent for change. Garfiaz is dedicated to being a leader in this important work and sharing with others his absolute love for movement.\n\nKurt Gollhardt – Square Dance\nKurt Gollhardt Kurt Gollhardt is President of the Santa Clara Valley Callers Association and has been calling in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2006. He began calling square dances in 1996 and frequently calls for weekend hoedowns.

Mozhem will present their well-loved (and even some new!) dance party tunes in Serra Park (corner of Hollenbeck and the Dalles in Sunnyvale) on Sunday\, June 9\, beginning at 2:30 p.m. We hope to play until about 5:00\, depending on weather (and other) conditions. \nYou are warmly invited to drop by— to say hello\, listen to us play\, dance\, or all of the above! There is a well-demarcated area in Serra Park (visible from major streets and the parking lot) for such an informal party. However\, the “dance floor” surface is cement that can be somewhat uneven. Please wear appropriate footwear. \nBand members are all fully vaccinated and boosted. Covid seems to be at bay for now\, but we encourage precautions. \nRestrooms and a water fountain are available near where we will be playing. Feel free to bring your own non-alcoholic beverages and snacks. There are some nearby benches\, but bring a chair if you want to be sure of having a seat. \nYou are welcome to invite others! Please help us publicize this live music event by forwarding this to fellow dancers. Feel free to share on Facebook or other social media.\nWe would love to play for and dance with you!\nBest wishes\, \nThe Members of Da!

SUMMARY:June Camp 2024
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 Roberto Bagnoli will be our featured guest.  \nSee you at June Camp! \nRoberto Bagnoli\n\nRoberto Bagnoli grew up in Rome\, where he was first introduced to folk music and dance\, eventually taking part in several performances and teaching dance classes. He subsequently studied various forms of folk dance in workshops throughout Europe\, Israel\, and North America under the guidance of renowned choreographers and teachers. Roberto lived for many years in Reggio Emilia in Northern Italy\, considered to have one of the most important dance communities in Italy.  \nFrom 1995 to 2003\, he performed as a dancer and choreographer with the Terra di Danza Dance Company and was involved in the production of Raggi di luna Italiana and Capriccio Italiano (Italian dances)\, GiroGiroMondo (dances from around the world)\, Keltic Emotion (Celtic dances)\, Mazal Tov (Israeli dances)\, and Ethnos (international folk dances).  \nHe is the founder of Folk Atelier Reggio Emilia (FARE)\, devoted to the development and conservation of folk dance heritage. As director of FARE\, he is in charge of organizing and conducting folk dance classes\, workshops with Italian and foreign specialists\, and of the performing sector\, staging various performances\, parties\, and dance gatherings. \nHe currently organizes two dance camps in Europe: Balkanot  (Balkan and Israeli dance) and Camp Yofi (Israeli Dance). Read more… \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. Read more… \nLive Music Parties\nAs always\, we will have wonderful live music for all our evening parties provided by Tom Pixton\, Ralph Iverson\, and Brian Wilson who are in residence throughout camp. \nRegistration  \nRoom registration is available until June 1\nRegistration including meals is available until June 6

SUMMARY:Lark Camp 2024
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy idyllic days and nights in the redwood forest of the Mendocino Woodlands. Take as many or few workshops as you like\, join jam sessions 24 hours a day\, dance every night\, and enjoy good food\, seeing old friends\, and making new friends. Lark Camp is where musicians\, singers\, and dancers learn traditional styles from all over the world. \nAbout\nLark Camp is an unparalleled week long world culture\, music\, song\, and dance event that takes place in three different camping areas within one park – The Mendocino Woodlands. Each has a musical theme\, and hosts workshops\, sessions\, and dances. Campers choose one of the camps to “live in” for the week\, but may attend workshops and events in any camp\, traveling by free shuttle\, walking\, or your own bicycle. Most campers prefer to camp for the whole week\, but you may also come for “half-camp”\, either the first four days\, or the second four days. \nWorkshops are offered for a variety of levels for adults and young adults; families with young supervised children are welcome. In Camp One\, there are kids’ programs that include instrument making\, art projects\, and a wonderful Kid’s Play that is rehearsed\, costumed\, and performed on the last night of camp. (The Mendocino Woodlands Camp Association also offers environmental education programs for children.) \nRegistration\nChoose your Lark Camp home-away-from-home\, your meal options\, and camping area preference. \nRegistration Info
