-Misi Tsurikov  The San Antonio Folk Dance Festival 2013 was a happy, successful, colorful, energetic treat for all
who partook of it. More than 80 people attended the dance workshops by Sonia Dion, Cristian Florescu, Jose Padron, and Joseph Pimentel. The effervescent Sonia and Cristian again delighted our folk dance village with lively and enjoyable Romanian dances, including the fiery "masterclass dance" Chef (pronounced "kef"). Jose and his assistants taught a dance from Chihuahua and a variation on Santa Rita. Joseph brought not only a wonderful variety of English country dances, but also many tips, mannerisms, and memory aids to make the ECD experience even more satisfying. The Saturday-night concert was a dazzling gala, the biggest concert in recent years in both groups and attendance. The program also saw the awarding of the 2013 Texas Dance Award to Lissa Bengtson and the 2013 National Dance Award to Janice Mendelson. (See Misi's complete write up.)
