  This Friday at dancing:
Liberté! Égalité! Fraternité!
Holly DJ's, Janie assists. |
Celebrate Bastille Day with your AIFD brothers and sisters. DJ Holly Plotner   and assistant Janie Hopkins will liberate your dancing soul with line and couple dances from France (and other equally great places ). We’ll also celebrate our fellow dancers who have a July birthday or anniversary with song, dance and the 'let them eat cake' portion of the program. |
 Teaching: Sharon Casteel will kick off the evening promptly at 7 with some fun teaching, including Žensko za raka. |
Friday, July 14, 7-9:45 pm.
The admission fee is $5 for those 18 and older.
There is no fee for those under 18,
but they must be supervised by a designated person 18 or older.
Hancock Rec Center (HRC)
AIFD is organized exclusively for educational purposes, including the promotion and teaching of traditional folk dance, music and crafts native to a variety of countries.

HOT SUMMER AHEAD! PLEASE READ!
 Dancing involves a lot of close contact. If you notice that your partner is hesitant to get into proper dance hold, is holding his or her breath, bolts from the dance floor as soon as the dance is over, or declines to dance with you again, you should recheck your hygiene and attire before coming to dancing.
Check out some ideas and suggestions here. |
|
From your AIFD Teaching Director: |
Is there a dance you especially want to learn, or that you can't quite get by following behind the line? Send your teaching requests to Sharon at teaching_director@aifd.cc; she'll see what can go on the teaching schedule for summer and fall. - Sharon Casteel

Me'm eus bet plijadur e Lambaol awechou,
oc'h ober tro an iliz gant an holl bannielou.
Chorus:
Jopo popo landibi dibi,
Jopo popo landibi do,
Manturla ridodenig,
Jopierei piralla.
Hag o strouin ganto dirak an aoter vras,
Hag ouzh o sevel kerkent er vann ken dres all o-hoazh.
Chorus
Plijadur am beze, pa veze ar pardon,
Oc'h ober tro ar vered gant an dud a galon.
Chorus
Eno 'vêze gwelet pa groge an avel,
Piw oa ar aotred wellan da zougen ar bnniel.
Chorus
Ha dre ma tremened a bep tu d'ar vali,
Gant o zeod flour ar merc'hed a roe o ali.
Chorus
Hag a rae o dibab e-touez ar baotred vrao
A welent en o o'haeran o tremen dirazo.
Chorus

I used to have so much fun at Lambaol once,
Going around the church with all the banners.
Chorus:
Jopo popo landibi dibi,
Jopo popo landibi do,
Manturla ridodenig,
Jopierei piralla.
And dip them before the great altar,
Then lift them back again straight in the air.
Chorus
I had so much fun the day of the pilgrimage,
Going around the cemetery with men of good faith.
Chorus
It was there we saw, when the wind was up,
Who were the best to carry the banners.
Chorus
As we passed on both sides of the Grande All'e,
The girls gave judgment in their soft voices.
Chorus
They made their choice of the proud lads
Who passed before them in their finest array.
Chorus
