Florida Dance Camp will take place on February 21-24, 2003 in the city of Silver Srings, near Ocala. The camp will feature English country dances and folk dances of various European ethnic groups. If you are a UF student you are encouraged to attend; you can receive scholarship funds.  Olga Princi scholarships from the Florida Folk Dance Council are also available for those willing to help at the camp.

Fall Fling will take place in Melbourne on November 23-24.

One of the new dances we will be learning this month is Sarba de la Closani, from Romania, taught to us originally by Mr. Vasilescu at Dance Camp in 2002. This is a fast, asymmetrical line dance that begins with a “W” hand hold.  This formula will help you remember the number of steps: 4A, 4B, 1C, 2D, 2B, 1E, or more simply, 4, 4, 1, 2, 2, 1.
