The Peninsula Folk Dance Council Invites You To Its

January Festival--

" THE PACIFIC HERITAGE FESTIVAL"

JANUARY 28-29, 1978

SAN JOSE CIVIC AUDITORIUM

The festival opens at 1:30 P.M. Saturday with a Federation in¬ stitute featuring Sunni Bloland and Ned and Marian Gault as the teachers. The Balkan-Israeli hour (actually an hour and a half) begins at 6:30 P.M. General dancing starts at 8:00 P.M. and lasts until 11:45—then you can enjoy the After Party at San Jose State hosted by the San Jose folk dance group. On Sunday, following the Federation meetings, dancing begins at 1:00 P.M. and lasts until 4:30.

Both days, on Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon, there will be several presentations by exhibition groups for the entertain¬ ment and enjoyment of the dancers and spectators. Charges to cover expenses will be the same as last year: $2.00 each day or $3.50 for both days; $1.00 for students; age 15 and under and spectators free. Parking is available in the garages on Park Avenue with a short one block walk to the Auditorium.

This is your last chance to see the San Jose Civic Auditorium as it is. The January Festival is the last event scheduled be¬ fore renovation of the facility begins. Much of the construc¬ tion which was going on in the area is now finished-----So come and see new, beautiful downtown San Jose* and dance at the Pacific Heritage Festival.

NEW ZEALAND Polynesia--"many islands"--takes its shape from volcanic peaks and coral atolls, clear as a constellation among stars: a triangle defined by Hawaii above the Equator, New Zealand to¬ ward the southern ice, and Easter Island far to the east, point¬ ing like a spear tip toward dawn. Through the centuries,a tall bf=Qwn-skinned people made this ocean realm their own. By acci¬ dent or by design--authorities differ-----the men of the long canoes found sun-washed islands by the hundred. The Polynesians' soft-flowing languages share words from a common stock to tell the myths of creation, the descent of chiefs from gods, the voy¬ ages of ancestral heroes, the welcome offered to travelers from other lands. wmm lUiljj.^.ilW'VNRlii''"*""' " mmimm wfm wmmmi

Yet each culture hasitsown unique¬ ness, variety and individuality. Tahitians interpret storifes with their hands either sitting on their knees or swaying while standing. These dances are called apa-rimas. Tahitians are re¬ nowned for their exciting oteas or hip-shaking movements, wear¬ ing grass skirts to demonstrate their agility andskill. In many of the apa-rimas the dancers also chant the words to the accom¬ paniment of drums, guitar, and nose flute. A simple apa-rima yet a classic is "Hoe Ana'\ recounting the voyage of the great canoes. Paddlers sing to break the tedium of months at sea. Land is sighted and speeding paddlers reach the shore. Tahitian costume, other than grass skirt, consists of a piece of material wrapped around the body. This wraparound called a p)aveu was originally made of tapa, cloth made from the bark of the paper mulberry tree, but now is a flowered print on a colorful background. Both men and women wear the pareu along with a flowered or shell lei and a flower tucked behind the ear. Almost always, Polynesians dance bare-footed. HAWAII M In the uppermost part of our Polynesian Triangle lie "the loveliestfleet of islands anchored in any ocean." (Mark Twain). This Hawaiian group, including seven major inhabited-islands of which Hawaii is the largest, is the U.S.A.'s fiftieth state. The Hawaiians are an incredible mixture of nationalities in¬ volving literally scores of combinations, with pure Polynesians reduced to less than one percent of the island's 700,000 per¬ manent inhabitants, and Caucasians-or ^ooZ^s to use the Hawaiian word-accounting for less than 20 percent. Perhaps as a result of this mixture, Hawaii is well named the Aloha State. Generosity and warmth ring true each time the familiar Hawaiian word of both greeting and farewell is heard. Whenever a visitor views Hawaii's folk dance, the , the aloha spirit is generated anew. For the hula tells a story and it tells it with flowing movements of the hands coordinated with a gentle swaying of the hips plus a facial expression that is irresistible. Classical hula, as opposed to the more flamboyant popular version, was born of the ancient Polynesian religion and those who practice the art today still consider it essentially sacred, an expression of the soul through means of the body. Thus, the face of the dancer was devoid of emotion. Many of the gestures are the same in commercial dance as those in classical hula but they tell a different kind of story. Pure hula follows the ancient males, or chants. There are songs composed in honor of ancient gods, great leaders (the alii), and the fear and wonder of nature. The hula required special education and training, especially because it was a religious matter. Men were first to dance to sharkskin drums called pa?2ws.Thus, the hula was an ac¬ complishment until 1820 when the missionaries arrived. After that it was considered disgraceful and banned. However, there were those who practiced the art in secret and since the reign of King Kalakaua, the hula has regained its former respect. An ancient chant, Kawika, is presented as one example Hawaiian dance. It is accompanied by the beat of an ipu^ a hollowed-out gourd drum. For this dance, men would wear a cotton wraparound, be¬ ginning at the waist and stoppijig either at the knee (a male) or at the ankle (a lukaluka). Women wear pahus for chants. These are gathered skirts bordered in leaf or flower print with gathered neck and short-sleeved blouse. A kikepa may also be worn. The kikepa consists of a knee or longer length piece of tapa (cloth made from the bark of the paper mulberry tree -now¬ adays duplicated in cotton) or a flowered print wrapped around the body to fasten at one shoulder. Green maile leaf leis or flower leis and a leaf wreath of flower tucked behind the ear complete the costume. Freeented by Iris dragan

Time was, when we could dance every danae at festivals because the Federation only had fifty or so dances to choose from, but now the Federation repertoire includes hun¬ dreds of dances, so there will be dances on every program that some of us do not know. If some complain about not being able to danae every danae, they should attend more classes (all over the area, every day of the week), and learn all the dances. If this is impossible, the next best thing is to be quiet and not discourage the com¬ mittees who have worked so hard to put the program together, usually selecting dances from past programs throughout the area or sending for request lists from all the clubs. Festivals can be a joy to attend -to do the dances we know, and watch and enjoy the dances we do not know; to meet our danc¬ ing friends from other areas, and to go home refreshed with a warm, congenial feeling which lasts----unless the spirit of the afternoon has been dampened by complaints. Sincerely, Ghrcz NZchotu

l#l|^l^ltfW#«#llO»l#«l#«l#»l#HtfllgH4>ll«^M i FOOD IN THE POLYNESIAN MANNER

The inhabitants of the Polynesian group of islands depend chiefly upon natural resources for their food. Because of the large supply, sea food is the most important, especially the shell fish. For their meat, the islanders prefer pork, using small pigs for their festive occasions. Chicken is the next favored. Staple foods include taro (similar to spinach), yams, bananas and breadfruit. Breadfruit is considered a staple, as well as a delicacy. It has a rough nobby skin, which can be peeled with a seashell and then baked or boiled, which results in a food similar to our potato. Its white pulp is a little more consistent than bread. It can also be used as a dessert, if it is left to ripen, when sugar and butter are added. A Polynesian feast might consist of a suckling pig, poultry cooked in various ways, raw fish, baked fish, salad of sliced coconut palm cores, bananas and breadfruit, and a dessert sim¬ ilar to gelatin flavored with bananas. CHICKEN AND COCONUT (Moa Luau A Me Wai Niu) 1 cup fresh or dried grated 2 teaspoons salt coconut 1/2 cup water 1 cup milk 1-1/2 lbs fresh or 1 pkg 2 tablespoons salad oil frozen spinach 2 to 2-1/2 lb chicken, 3 tablespoons butter boned and cubed Combine the coconut and milk in a saucepa n. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and let stand for 30 minutes. Press all the liquid from the coconut and discard the pulp. Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the chicken and brown well on all sides. Add 1-1/2 teaspoons of salt and the water.- Cover and cook over low heat for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is tender. Wash the spinach carefully, if fresh spin ach is used. Re- move tough fibers. Melt the butter in a sau cepan; add the spinach and remaining salt. Cover and cook over very low heat for 20 minutes. Drain well. Drain the chic ken and combine it with the spinach and coconut milk. Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring occasionally, and serve.

FISH MARINATED IN LIME JUICE WITH ONIONS (Poisson Cru) 2 lbs skinned, boneless hal' 1/2 cup coarsely chopped ibut cut 1-1/2" thick scallions 1 cup fresh lime juice 1/4 cup chopped green pepper 1/2 cup chopped onions 2 hard-cooked sggs, chopped 2 teaspoons salt - 3 medium-sized firm ripe

10 1 cup coconut milk, tomatoes, peeled and chilled * coarsely chopped Cut the steaks lengthwise into 1/4" slices, then cut each slice into 1-1/2" square pieces. In a deep bowl mix the lime juice, onions and salt. Coat the pieces of fish, cover and marinate for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. When done, the fish will be opaque and firm, indicating it is fully "cooked." To serve, drain the fish and squeeze it to remove excess moisture. Place the fish on a serving plate, add the tomatoes, seal lions, green peppers, hard-cooked eggs, and coconut milk; toss gently but thoroughly. Serves 6 BAKED PW'AYA DESSERT 2 small ripe papayas 1-1/2 cups fresh coconut milk* 1/2 cup sugar made from 1-1/2 cups chop- 1/4 cup water ped coconut and 1-1/2 cups hot water. Preheat oven to 375°. Peel the papayas; cut them in half, lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Arrange the papayas cut side up in a shallow baking dish in one layer. Sprinkle the fruit with sugar and pour 1/4 cup of water down the sides of the dish. Bake uncovered for 1-1/2 hours, or until the papayas are tender but intact, basting them every 20 minutes with the syrup that will accumulate. Increase the heat to 400° and bake for 5 min. more until the syrup thickens and browns. Turn off the heat, pour the coconut milk into the cavities of the pap¬ ayas, and leave in the oven for 5 minutes until the milk is warm. Serve at once, or refrigerate and serve chilled. (4) *To make coconut milk: Remove the brown skin and chop the meat of the coconut into small chunks. Measure the quantity of meat and drop it into an electric blender. Add an equal amount of hot water and blend at high speed for 1 minute, until the coconut mixture is reduced to a thick, fibrous liquid. Place the contents into a sieve lined with cheesecloth, and with a wooden spoon, press down hard to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the pulp. One cup of coarsely chopped coco¬ nut meat combined with one cup of hot water should produce one cup of coconut milk.

A dancer of my acquaintance has asked that I bring to your attention a small point concerning safety in dancing, and con¬ sideration of others. The present fad of wearing rings on the fingers presents some difficulty in the. hand-grasp required in some dances. If the rings have sharp edges, there is some chance of injury to the hands in the quick change from one hand to another. Also, the person wearing the rings may experience pain from the rings if the hand is grasped too tightly. Rings with stone settings may catch in , sometimes inflicting damage to treasured .

To be on the safe side let's use precaution in the choice of rings and also in the number selected to wear to a dance party or Festival. icooooocooccocooooooosooosocoaoooooooaoocoooooeoeocoososeoso'sos'.

In time, each island had formed its own version both of legends and of dance. Tahiti, with its nearby island Moorea, with its pretty girls, its Papeete with busy traffic, has a dance form that is as frenetic as modern living. The girls' hips revolve in a very fast, very complete circle. It is an entertainment style typical of the French speaking island. This is matched by the Tahitian men's dance of knees opening and closing like gills of a panting fish, but exactly in keeping with the fast drumming and modern melodies of guitar, ukelele and song. Often the Tahitian dance groups perform the centuries-old Oteas to the beat of the sharkskin and wooden drums. The best known Tahitian dance is the frenzied, fast "". The slow "Aparima" is a pleasant contrast in tempo and is usually in¬ cluded in dance programs. The "Tamora", a free style social dance form, is enjoyed by natives and visitors alike.

* Record used when dance was taught.

SAMOA - the exotic islands to the south

As in Hawaii, the Samoan people enjoy their songs and dances. Late into the evenings and even beyond midnight, you can hear music in the small village. When more than a single family group get (NJ together it may well become a Siva, or dance. CM When a group of visitors from another village or another island come, they usually stay for sev¬ eral days, or even weeks. Not long after their arrival there will be a Siva thatcan last for three or four days. During the days, the young boys will fish off the reefs and swim in the ocean swells while the mothers and daughters harvest the breadfruits, taro and green bananas. The men will spend their time talking politics and making new "fale" (house) blinds or panels, or thatching a neighbors roof. When evening comes, and the village people have returned from the ocean and the hills, and the men have taken up their bundles of fibers to plat new ropes, the young men will dance together as the girls clap their hands in rhythm or pound on the ground with their hands. The girls too, will have their dances, but they seldom actually dance together. The dancers of Samoa will add flowers to their hair, shell necklaces, anklets and bracelets and ringlets of leaves and bark on their fingers, head and arms. Often there will be a hollowed-out stick or log as a drum, or perhaps a section of bamboo 3 or 4 inches in diameter and 18 inches to 2 ft. long will be used as a sounding board to beat out their rhythms. During the time of the missionaries, there developed a feeling against dancing that has only in recent years, been replaced with a desire to relearn the old traditional dances and rhythms. Ais ^/lagan A new name appears on the scene in Let's Dance this month. Iris Dragan is someone you should meet and know. Her descrip¬ tions for HOE AWA and KAWIKA are such that they can be used in the elementary schools or for beginning-intermediate folk dance groups. Iris has long been a teacher with only a few years off to raise a family. She has been active in teaching in the ele¬ mentary grades in both Modesto and in Redwood City and holds a California Life Credential in Education. Even though Iris has not returned to active teaching in the elementary grades, she has been kept busy since 1973 with her private classes in Polynesian dance and with classes for the Redwood City Recreation Department. Her interest in Polynesian dance is of long standing and her training includes study with Kelesi Ah You and Erena Mapuhi of the Polynesian Culture Center at Laie, Oahu; Emma Sharpe of Lahaina, Maui; and Harriet Haleaka Spalding, formerly of Hilo, Hawaii. Iris has also attended workshops with Winona Beamer of Honolulu and Lanakila Brandt of Hilo, Hawaii. Iris directs a group who demonstrates Polynesian dances at schools, hospitals, and for other comnunity organizations. As one of our new members of the Folk Dance Federation of Calif¬ ornia she is endeavoring to learn someof the International folk dances. Get to know Iris, and for information regarding her Polynesian exhibition group she may be contacted at 681 Castle Hill Road, Redwood City, CA 94061.

ON ROUGHNESS A recent letter concerning this column is shown below. Sept. 6, 1977 Dear Mrs. Horn: ͣWould you please get 1ihe message to Hr. Wyckoff 'that there never, never ehould be pull-bya In square dancing? If he would aubstltute "walk" for pull it would take care of this most annoying feature on the square dance floor. Folk dancing and square dancing are no roughhouse occupations and gentleness and kindness are always in order. Sirrcerely yours, , ^ 1 'y\y f Cr. F. Dormeyer U 3^9 Cherry St., ^ San Francisco, Ca. 9^118 It turns out that Mr. Dormeyer Is concerned about'roughness ratherthe movement than "Pull"Square By" Thru" per se.in the"Pull September By" was 1977used issuein describing of Let's Dance. The use of "pull by" in this connotation is sound. The acknowledged authority in Square Dancing, the American Square Dance Society uses the term in The Basic Movements of Square 28 Dancing. Likewise, Will Orlich who writes for American Square Dance magazine uses the term when describing a Square Thru in wellhis Mainstreamtaken, however. Square Dancing. The point about roughness is Have you ever had someone hang on to your hand long after they passed by, thereby demonstrating a whip effect? Or per¬ haps, squeeze your hand until a ring just about amputates the next finger? This is roughness. What can we do to avoid it? As in any other type of couple dancing, each dancer should always be aware of his or her partner. Better yet, look at your partner. In a Grand Right and Left or Square Thru establish eye contact with each as you pass by. When you swing, look at your partner. Gentlemen, if your partner is about to leave her feet, you will probably see that on her face. If she is enjoy¬ ing your swing, you should see that too! A rough pull by just should not happen if partners are really aware of each other. By the same token, if partners are aware of each other, there should be some tension or resistance when holding hands, say in a Square Thru. The gentleman cannot lead his partner unless she "pushes back." If there is no resistance, you get the familiar "dead fish" feeling. If each partner is really aware of the other, the correct amount of tension or resistance will be exerted on a pull by in a Square Thru for pleasant dancing without roughness. So let's all really be aware of our partners during our next set of squares-or couple dance-or even your neighbors in a line dance. Look your partner right in the eye as if to say "it's been fun, partner." You will find it is fun! Thanics for writing, Mr. Dormeyer.

NO-PARTNER DANCING In the East Bay Area there is no existing no-partner dance clubs in a non-University setting. Ray Sakalay, our East Bay reporter is interested in organizing just such a class or club for evening classes in the East Oakland, Alameda, San Lfiandro, Hayward or Fremont area.

29 8-80 The Eight To Eighty Folk Dancers have had a busy schedule dur¬ ing the summer and early fall, including doing dance programs for a wide variety of events. In May the younger members were featured at the annual county luncheon meeting of Homemakers' Clubs. They did an hour of dances of all kinds after only two practice sessions with a specialy learned May-Pole dance as a climax. The ages of the dancers was from seven to thirteen. In June, the entire club helped to celebrate a Bar Mitzvah with some audience participation. During May and June we also provided two evening dance pro¬ grams for a Sparks Convalescent home and have been asked to re¬ turn in the fall a winter. In August several members attended the Feather River Camp Folk Dance Week. The same group visited Grass Valley to assist with a program at the Nevada County Fair with the Nevada City City Folk Dancers. After returning from camp, Harriet started a folk dance class for a Senior Citizens dance group. Their first party was a Hawaiian theme with members of the committee learnin Alekoki to do during the program. One member of this group is Annabelle Bruce, a recent arrival from the Bay Area where she had started learning folk dances with the Drexlers and Frank Bacher. On a windy Saturday in September, three dance groups were participants in the entertainment at a Church Bazaar in a park. Dancing with the Eight to Eighty group was several of the Senior Citizens. The Basque group which appearedat the Camellia Fes¬ tival a number of years ago and the newly formed Ballet Hispan- ico Infantil also performed. In cooperation with the Young Audiences organizers, two of the dancing groups did two promotion programs on Saturdays in October at three shopping centers. The promotion also included the Matteo Ethno-American Dance Theater. Our teenagers also served as costumed ushersfor the afternoon and evening Matteo shows. They also were included in the post-show party given by the committee who set up the event. At least one carload of Eight to Eighty members traveled to San Francisco for the Thanksgiving Kolo Festival. Harriet is now teaching a Community College Class for the Physically Handicapped and will have more courses scheduled in the new year on Folklore and Costume Design.

GQUNGIL GLIP5 REDWOOD COUNCIL CLIPS ELSA ISAAC, one of our finest dancers, has finally suc¬ cumbed to the numerous urgings to teach folkdancing. All reports are that she has a very successful beginners' class at Kawana School in the Santa Rosa vicinity. Even with her dancing ability and knowledge, her super personality, her organizational and teaching skills, she says stie could never, never teach with¬ out the help of JOHN EVANS and SANTA ROSA FOLK DANCE CLUB: John adds not only his dancing experience and ideas and support but also his technical skill with tape recording and supplying the music; the club makes the school facility available, publicizes the class beginning, and has encouraged her to assure her pupils that they are invited to participate with the club in dancing. Should anyone wish more information concerning this class, ---- Phone Elsa - (707) 546-8877. Plans have already begun for the 1978 FIESTA DE SONOMA!! Chairman is DEL CAHILL. Del is a superb organizer with lots of enthusiasm for dancing; and, with a hostof equally enthusiastic and competent dancing friends (whose promises to help can be relied upon), the Festival will be the traditional great autumn weekend in the Valley Of The Moon. For those who received this issue of LET'S DANCE before the end of December, if you have not bought your ticket for our annual New Year's Party and would like to celebrate with us phone WENDELL SCHAAL to see if you can still be included. This is one of the finest parties ever, at the beautiful old Mission Inn in Sonoma;the food is excellent, the price is right,Wendell's music is as requested, the floor is fine for dancing, the people are the greatest! How better can one bid farewell to one Good Year and usher in another? Best wishes to all for a JOYOUS HOLIDAY SEASON and for a 1978 year full of dancing.
