Subject: Israeli Folk Dance Workshop, Labor Day Weekend
Organization: Fannie Mae, Washington, DC
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 1992 17:37:29 GMT


Although I am reading this newsgroup I was surprised that very little, if any
at all is said about Israeli folk dancing.  Me and my wife are going to the
following camp for the Labor Day weekend, so I thought to post it despite
the late notice.  The camp is already full, but I talked to Bill a couple of
days ago and he said that people can join one day workshops.
The flier is barely edited.  If someone is interested they need 
to contact Bill Huebsch listed bellow.
I had the chance to hear Ayala Goren last spring in Boston, and I 
beleive she is quite a good authority about the roots of Israeli folkdancing.
Hope to see some more of you there.
