Round Dances Scot Byars Started Dancing in 1965 in the San Francisco Bay Area
Syllabus of Dance Descriptions STOCKTON FOLK DANCE CAMP – 2016 – FINAL 7/31/2016 In Memoriam Floyd Davis 1927 – 2016 Floyd Davis was born and raised in Modesto. He started dancing in the Modesto/Turlock area in 1947, became one of the teachers for the Modesto Folk Dancers in 1955, and was eventually awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award for dance by the Stanislaus Arts Council. Floyd loved to bake and was famous for his Chocolate Kahlua cake, which he made every year to auction off at the Stockton Folk Dance Camp Wednesday auction. Floyd was tireless in promoting folk dancing and usually danced three times a week – with the Del Valle Folk Dancers in Livermore, the Modesto Folk Dancers and the Village Dancers. In his last years, Alzheimer’s disease robbed him of his extensive knowledge and memory of hundreds, if not thousands, of folk dances. A celebration for his 89th birthday was held at the Carnegie Arts Center in Turlock on January 29 and was attended by many of his well-wishers from all over northern California. Although Floyd could not attend, a DVD was made of the event and he was able to view it and he enjoyed seeing familiar faces from his dancing days. He died less than a month later. Floyd missed attending Stockton Folk Dance Camp only once between 1970 and 2013. Sidney Messer 1926 – 2015 Sidney Messer died in November, 2015, at the age of 89. Many California folk dancers will remember his name because theny sent checks for their Federation membership to him for nine years. -
The Fiddle Traditions the Violin Comes to Norway It Is Believed That The
The fiddle traditions The violin comes to Norway It is believed that the violin came to that violins from this period were Norway in the middle of the 1600s brought home by, amongst others, from Italy and Germany. This was Norwegian soldiers who fought in probably as a result of upper class wars in Europe. music activities in the towns. But, much suggests that fiddle playing was known in the countryside before this. Already around 1600 ‘farmer fiddles’ are described in old sources, and named fiddlers are also often encountered. We know of the Hardanger fiddle from the middle of the 1600s, which implies that a fiddle-making industry was already established in the countryside before the violin was popular in the Norwegian towns. Rural craftsmen in Norway must have acquired knowledge about this new instrument from 1500s Italy and been inspired by it. One can imagine From 1650 onwards, the violin quickly became a popular instrument throughout the whole of the country. We have clear evidence of this in many areas – from Finnmark, the rural areas of the West Coast and from inland mountain and valley districts. The fiddle, as it was also called, was the pop instrument of its day. There exist early descriptions as to how the farming folk amused themselves and danced to fiddle music. In the course of the 1700s, its popularity only increased, and the fiddle was above all used at weddings and festive occasions. Fiddlers were also prominent at the big markets, and here it was possible to find both fiddles and fiddle strings for sale. -

Survey-Mendocino-2015.Pdf
SURVEY OF NORWEGIAN DANCE Norwegian dances, along with other Scandinavian dances, are primarily social in nature rather than religious or ritualistic. They were danced for fun at festive occasions such as weddings, midsummer, Christmas, and just plain parties. When we say Norwegian dances, we usually refer to the dances from the central and southern parts of Norway. We generally put Lapp culture, found in northern Norway, in a separate category. Today, Norwegian dances are customarily divided into the categories below. Bygdedans (Regional Dance) These are the oldest known and documented dances, coming to Norway in the period 1600-1800. The first dances arrived together with the fiddle. There are five main categories of bygdedans: springar (springdans, springleik, gamalt), gangar (bonde, jølstring), pols (polsdans, rundom), rull (vossarull, rudl, rullar), and halling (laus, lausdans). Each type is widely used and known over a large area, although it varies considerably from district to district. The dances also vary from individual to individual in the same district. This creates a complex geographical pattern with gradual transitions in tradition from one region to the next. The dances are quite free in structure, so that many dancers vary them from one execution to the next. There is, nevertheless, a fixed framework within which improvisation occurs. Both steps and figures may be varied. Some Norwegian dancers, especially older dancers, feel that bygdedans from more than one region should not be attempted because the styles and improvisations tend to blend, losing the unique regional styling. Springar and gangar are not in principle different, except for the meter. In areas having both dances, they closely parallel each other. -

Syllabus of Dance Descriptions STOCKTON FOLK DANCE CAMP – 2009 – FINAL In Memoriam Jean Brown August 21, 1926 – August 3, 2008 Jean was a resident of Galt and a former resident of San Jose, California. Jean taught elementary school for 30 years at O. Hubbard School in San Jose, and during those years she also devoted her time after school to developing and teaching international folk dance to children. She and her mother spent countless hours sewing costumes by the hundreds! Her groups danced at schools, hospitals, and community events around the Bay Area. In her last year of teaching at Hubbard, 180 children participated in dance classes. Following the death of her first husband in 1987, she moved to the Stockton area and remarried. She and her second husband Norm taught three dances classes a week in Galt and Lodi and spent two weeks every year at Stockton Folk Dance Camp. She attended Stockton Dance Camp for 31 years; her most recent contribution was the Recreational Dance Workshop Bora Gajicki July 24, 1937 – August 17, 2008 “A joy to behold, a challenge to imitate.” Borivoj Gajicki was born in Gospodjinci, a village in Serbia.

He traveled extensively in Yugoslavia and Europe as a solo dancer with this world-famous troupe. In 1967, he met and married Margarita "Marge" Tapia while she was vacationing in Yugoslavia. After coming to California, he started a kolo class at the Yugoslav-American Club. Bora and Marge later opened The Folk Motif in 1970, a small business specializing in opanke, folk costumes, books, and related folk items. -
Nationalist Composers and Fiddle Music: a Reflection of Removal from Traditional Culture, with Specific Attention to Copland and Grieg
Nationalist Composers and Fiddle Music: A Reflection of Removal from Traditional Culture, with Specific Attention to Copland and Grieg Rachel Baiman College of Arts and Science, Vanderbilt University The late Romantic period of classical music was characterized by a new enthusiasm for the inclusion of folk music in classical composition. Edvard Grieg and Aaron Copeland are two composers who characterize this period, and both used traditional fiddle tunes from their respective countries in their Nationalist compositions. This essay explores the extent to which folk traditions were honored and exploited in each composer’s music. The author concludes that while Grieg was more successful in authentically portraying the fiddle music of his nation, Copeland’s comparable work became a much more popular Nationalist symbol. "The right peasant music is most perfect and varied in Peasant Dances, Op. 72 (Slatter), are both its forms. Its expressive power is amazing, and at the reinterpretations of whole fiddle tunes, based on same time it is devoid of all sentimentality and single field recordings. The results of their work, superfluous ornaments. It is simple, sometimes however, show very different degrees of primitive, but never silly" understanding in terms of their respective fiddle and -Bela Bartok dance traditions. While Copland was somewhat successful in melodically portraying one version of a The second half of the nineteenth century saw single American fiddle tune through a work for full dramatic political turbulence and an intense spirit of orchestra, Grieg‘s interpretation of multiple cultural pride and freedom. As European ethnic Norwegian fiddle tunes for solo piano reflects a more groups such as the Norwegians, the Poles and the wholistic interpretation, and a more appropriate Czechs fought for national independence, the need for portrayal, of the Hardanger fiddle tradition and thus, a cultural recognition spread to the arts. -
