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. -
Greek Dance and Everyday Nationalism in Contemporary Greece - Kalogeropoulou 55
Greek dance and everyday nationalism in contemporary Greece - Kalogeropoulou 55 Greek dance and everyday nationalism in contemporary Greece Sofia Kalogeropoulou The University of Otago ABSTRACT In this article I explore how dance as an everyday lived experience during community events contributes to constructing national identities. As a researcher living in New Zealand where issues of hybridity and fluidity of identities in relation to dance are currently a strong focus for discussion, I was inspired to examine dance in my homeland, Greece. In a combination of ethnography and autobiography I examine dance as an embodied practice that physically and culturally manifests the possession of a distinct national identity that can also be used as a means of differentiation. I also draw on the concept of banal nationalism by Michael Billig (1995), which looks at the mundane use of national symbols and its consequences. I argue that while folk dance acts as a uniting device amongst members of national communities, its practice of everyday nationalism can also be transformed into a political ritual that accentuates differences and projects chauvinism and extreme nationalism with a potential for conflict. INTRODUCTION A few years ago when I was still living in Greece I was invited to my cousin’s farewell party before he went to do his national service. This is a significant rite of passage for a Greek male marking his transition from childhood to manhood and also fulfilling his obligations towards his country and the state. This dance event celebrates the freedom of the civilian life and marks the beginning of a twelve-month period of military training in the Greek army. -

Texas Camp Index Lists Over 1400 Dances Published in Texas Camp Syllabi from 1954 Through 2011 (Except 1955 and 1957)
Texas Camp Syllabi Master Index This Texas Camp Index lists over 1400 dances published in Texas Camp syllabi from 1954 through 2011 (except 1955 and 1957). Some background material and songs are also indexed. This index was compiled by Sally Jenkins from Tulsa and Chuck Roth from Austin. Not all dances listed were actually taught at Texas Camp. In a number of the syllabi, the pages were not numbered, so we manually numbered our copies for purposes of indexing. Our numbering might not correspond to your numbering. Explanation of columns in the index: The dance names in the TITLE column are listed alphabetically, except in many cases articles (The, A, La, etc.) have been moved to the end of the name. So if you don’t find it under The Bishop or La Belle Katherine, look under Bishop, The or Belle Katherine, La. In most cases, the dance name is given and not the name of the tune to which it is danced. In the FORMation column, abbreviations are used as follows: cir = circle, no partners (usually a closed circle) cpl = couple cpl-mix = couple mixer set = a couple dance done in a set where couples interact with each other set2, set3, set4, etc. = set of 2, 3, 4, etc. couples setL = longways set with number of couples unspecified 3s = (threes) a trio dance 3s-mix = a trio dance that is a mixer ind = individual (usually a group of dancers scattered around the floor) Some of the dances may be done in more than one formation, and this is sometimes indicated in the notes. -

Dance Analysis Using Multiple Kinect Sensors
Dance Analysis using Multiple Kinect Sensors Alexandros Kitsikidis1, Kosmas Dimitropoulos1, Stella Douka2 and Nikos Grammalidis1 1Informatics and Telematics Institute, ITI-CERTH, 1st Km Thermi-Panorama Rd, Thessaloniki, Greece 2Department of Physical Education and Sport Science, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece Keywords: Body Motion Analysis and Recognition, Conditional Random Fields, Skeletal Fusion, Dance Analysis. Abstract: In this paper we present a method for body motion analysis in dance using multiple Kinect sensors. The proposed method applies fusion to combine the skeletal tracking data of multiple sensors in order to solve occlusion and self-occlusion tracking problems and increase the robustness of skeletal tracking. The fused skeletal data is split into five different body parts (torso, left hand, right hand, left leg and right leg), which are then transformed to allow view invariant posture recognition. For each part, a posture vocabulary is generated by performing k-means clustering on a large set of unlabeled postures. Finally, body part postures are combined into body posture sequences and Hidden Conditional Random Fields (HCRF) classifier is used to recognize motion patterns (e.g. dance figures). For the evaluation of the proposed method, Tsamiko dancers are captured using multiple Kinect sensors and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the high recognition accuracy of the proposed method. 1 INTRODUCTION availability of processing power to accomplish more sophisticated interpretations of data, and a greatly Dance is an immaterial art as it relies on the motion enhanced flexibility in the area of media rendering of the performer’s body.

She was a dance specialist, her area of expertise being the dances of Mexico, and Central and South America. At the age of five, Nelda gave her first dance performance during a celebration in a small town in Texas. She grew up learning a wide variety of Mexican dances and later studied at the University of Mexico in Mexico City under the late Alura Flores de Angeles. Nelda did extensive research in Mexican, Central American, and South American dance. Her teaching took her throughout the United States, Mexico, the Orient, and Europe, presenting her seminars and Nelda Drury, circa 2014. displaying her dance form. She had a wealth of dance costumes that she collected on her round-the-world travels. She devoted her life to bringing folk dances from around the world to San Antonio specifically, and to Texas in general. She taught at folk dance camps and workshops all over the United States and, in turn, invited teachers she met doing so to teach at the yearly San Antonio Folk Dance Festival that she founded. Nelda taught at Stockton Folk Dance Camp in 1974. Ruth Levin Duree – 1942-2019 Ruth and her husband Richard Duree attended Stockton Folk Dance Camp for many years, most recently in 2014.
