Special Events 2009

Friday, July 10, 2009
International Folk Dance Workshop (ages 12+)
at Joyful Yoga Studio
7 PM to 10 PM
3900 West Ray Road, Chandler, AZ
www.JoyfulYogaStudio.com

Cost: $5.00 per person or $10.00 per family

Come join the Phoenix International Folk Dancers for an informal evening of dance, fun aerobic exercise, and social networking. No experience or partner required (most dances are done in open circles or lines).

We are a group of dancers with varying levels of experience united in our love of cultural diversity in dance.

* The first hour will focus on teaching easy dances from a variety of countries.
* The second hour will incorporate easy to moderate dances with some instruction.
* The third hour will be all-requests with more high energy dances of varying degrees of difficulty. Dress is informal. Please wear soft-soled or non-marking shoes to preserve the wonderful wood floor.

We look forward to sharing our passion for international folk dance with the community.
