We are planning a real (not virtual) Fall Camp November 12-14\, 2021\, at the beautiful Brandeis-Bardin Campus near Simi Valley. Share the joy of dancing safely together again! Everyone will have had the opportunity to be vaccinated long before then\, and we all hope the health situation will allow a Fall Camp without masks or social distancing. \nMaster teachers include Sonia Dion and Cristian Florescu\, who will bring their uniquely entertaining teaching of Romanian dances\, and Roberto Bagnoli who will present a great selection of international dances. \nRegistration available this summer! Check back soon! \nIf the pandemic precludes the same kind of magical camp as before\, we will give everyone a full refund. \nThe camp is about 40 miles northwest of Los Angeles\, near Simi Valley\, at the Brandeis-Bardin Campus of American Jewish University. We will stay in motel-style rooms with private baths\, enjoy five meals from Friday dinner through Sunday breakfast (there is an optional Sunday lunch)\, and dance on a wood floor. \nIf you’d like to know more about Fall Camp — the master teachers\, the location and campus\, the rooms\, the activities — read more at fallcamp.org or send an e-mail to Dance@FallCamp.org. \nInstructors\nSonia Dion and Cristian Florescu\nSonia and Cristian The couple were married at the Stockton Folk Dance Camp in 2010.
