DANCE NEWSLETTER -- JUNE 30, 2009
Dear Friends This is the former Big Wayne e-newsletter, covering dance activities in northern California, nationwide, and worldwide. John Bear has taken it over from Big Wayne. New listings, corrections, comments, subscriptions, unsubscriptions, and complaints to John: john.bear@..., or (510) 528-4253 (10 am to 9 pm, 7 days). This newsletter is emailed on the 15th and 30th of each month (except this month when it is a day late, because I’m recovering from 5 days of vigorous dancing at 7,200 feet in the Sierras, not highly recommended for geezers like me). --------------- VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO TEACH DANCE CLASS FOR SENIOR CITIZENS The Volunteer Center of the East Bay seeks volunteers over age 25 to teach dance to senior citizens at Lawrence Moore Manor in Berkeley on weekdays. Contact person: Michelle Morrison. One must log into their site to learn contact information. http://volunteer.united-e-way.org/vccc/org/phone.aspx? contact_id=10246901030 &listing_id=10246901029 --------------- I have organized the newsletter into three sections, as follows SECTION 1: One-time only events in northern California SECTION 2: Regularly-recurring events in northern California SECTION 3: One-time-only events in the US, Canada, and worldwide Section 1: One-time only events, Northern Calif. --------------- NOTE: for detailed information on Greek events in northern California, check out Ed Hughot’s site: http:// www.greekfestivals.bravehost.com/#HOME (Much of the info is also included in the following listings, but this is the source.) --------------- July 2 Santa Cruz LIVE GREEK MUSIC for dancing, Vasili’s Greek Restaurant, 1501 Mission St., #A, 7-9, www.vasilisgreekrestaurant.com --------------- July 4-11 Mendocino Woodlands AMERICAN DANCE & MUSIC WEEK.

Section 2: Recurring events, Northern Calif. NOTE; There is dancing at Ashkenaz in Berkeley (1317 San Pablo Ave.) four or five days a week. Some events are listed in Section 1. For the rest, from Taiko drumming to bluegrass to Afro-Latin, check the Ashkenaz website, www.ashkenaz.com. ONE MORE NOTE: Berkeley Folk Dancers, who have been dancing in Berkeley since Hector was a pup, dance five nights a week at Live Oak Park, 1301 Shattuck Ave. They are listed below, and for detailed information, visit their website at http:// www.berkeleyfolkdancers.org. Better still, become an annual member. FINAL NOTE: Listings begin with Monday events, then Tuesday, etc., and, for each day, go from morning to afternoon to evening, just like the sun. REALLY FINAL NOTE: The Royal Scottish Country Dance Society has asked to be included herein. I’d love to, but I haven’t figured out how yet, since they have more than 70 regular and special events of various kinds in many locations. While I reflect on how to deal with this without making this already very long newsletter much longer, I would simply direct you to their excellent site, at http://www.rscds- sf.org/.
