<div>hey, Davis dancers - <br/> <br/>Here's a link to a video on YouTube of the Northern California Dance Collective's summer dance camp, made by some SoCal dance camp fans. It's not in Davis -- it's near Fresno -- but it's worth a few hours' drive, so check it out, and then register to come to camp! The dates this year are June 13-22. It's 9 days of heaven, like living in a village of dancers in the mountains, with great vegetarian meals, Kids Camp for the little ones, a lake, work-exchange opportunities, and an amazing community of people. Prices go up after June 1, so you save money if you register sooner rather than later. You can also check ncdcdances.org/ for lots of info and photos from previous camps. <br/> <br/>keep dancing! <br/> <br/>christina <br/> <br/>www.youtube.com/watch <br/> <br/> <br/>reply to this post </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://davisdance.tribe.net">Davis Dance</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Hey there, Davis Dancers -- <br/> <br/>Here's the news on a couple of great opportunities to escape the heat and dance your a** off an hour outside of Fresno, in the southern Sierras. <br/> <br/>NCDC Summer Camp, June 13-22, (ncdcdances.org) is more of a hippie/alternative camp -- vegetarian meals, progressive culture, clothing-optional waterfront, classes in all kinds of movement, art, and personal growth modalities, including contact improv, 5 Rhythms, African dance, yoga, authentic movement, Body Tales, breathwork and more. The participants are "dance-a-holics" from mostly the Bay area, branching out into Oregon and Washington and nothern and southern California. The classes are mostly beginner-level or mixed-level and most of the participants are white. There' s a great Kids Camp program so parents can dance and their kids will be taken care of. <br/> <br/>Camp Fareta, July 6-13, (dancingvillage.com) is for folks who are into West African drum and dance (mostly Guinea-style, some artists from Senegal and Mali). There are some beginner-level classes but most classes are pretty fast-paced, geared to people who have some experience in this form. The meals cater to both vegetarians and meat-eaters, including some African food, and everyone keeps their swimsuit on at the waterfront! The participants come from all over the world, mostly the west coast but also Japan, Canada, Australia, etc. etc., and it's very racially diverse. There's a Kids Camp program there as well. <br/> <br/>Both events happen at Camp Hye Sierra, which has a small lake for swimming and boating, hiking trails nearby, an open-air pavilion for dancing, a volleyball court, and lots of fully-enclosed cabins as well as room for camping. <br/> <br/>So check it out, and keep on dancing! <br/> <br/>christina <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://davisdance.tribe.net">Davis Dance</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>hey there - <br/> <br/>I haven't been to the Whole Earth Festival in a while, but I remember there was always a great drum-n-dance scene there. Now I'm involved with Camp Fareta, a West African drum and dance camp happening July 8-15 in central California (an hour east of Fresno in the southern Sierras) and I'm wondering how to get the word out in Davis. Does anyone know who's teaching African drum or dance there, or the best drum shop or health food store for posting flyers? It's a great event, and I want to make sure those who might be interested can find out about it. <br/> <br/>Youssouf Koumbassa is the "host" and main dance teacher, and there's lots of information on his website, westafricandance.com. Check it out and spread the word! <br/> <br/>thanks and be well - <br/> <br/>christina</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://davisdance.tribe.net">Davis Dance</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>ok, so this is in Sacramento and not Davis, but i wanted to throw it out there and see if anyone on this tribe is interested. <br/> <br/>I need to dance. if anyone is interested in going to this let me know, i went to a lesson before and had a great time. i was the youngest person there by a landslide and had no partner, however i didn't really care as its a really beautiful dance. They served sushi and wine which was a definite bonus. i keep getting these emails and want to go or unsubscribe so i figure i'll just go. anyone down? <br/> <br/>It's time to tango, and it's happening this Saturday, January 28, at Tango by the <br/>River! For those new to the tango, there will be a beginning tango lesson from <br/>8:00-9:00 p.m., then we'll dance from from 9:00 p.m. until midnight.
