by Richard Powers Based on the Oriental Mazurka by Tom Almond, circa 1905. Mondo (adj, "remarkable") is also short for amondo, Japanese for almond, named after Tom Almond. Created for Harumi Kunimoto's Tokyo group. Tom Almond's Oriental Mazurka sequence dance was described by Sidney Thompson, shown at the right, in his Old Time Dance Book, 1956. Tom Almond's sequence was difficult because the mazurka step was on the second bar (waltz on the first bar), when back-to-back with one's partner. Mondo Mazurka exchanges the first and second measures, making it easier and more musical, matching the music, and matching the second halfM of ondothe dance as wellMazurka, which also begins Mixer with a mazurka. Music: Oriental Mazurka Sidney Thompson specified 138 bpm. Description is for men. Women step opposite. Begin in Open Hold, facing LOD, man's L hand akimbo (on his hip) as shown above. Part 1 bars 1 Mazurka Step: slide side L, cut R under L, bring L back closed above R ankle, without weight, with a slight bounce. 1 Waltz-Close Step: Forward L, diagonal side R swinging the held hands forward, close L to R. 1 Waltz-Close Step traveling LOD: forward R, side L facing partner, close R to L. 1 Side-Close: Partners join both hands open inclining to RLOD, side L, close R to L without weight, hold on count 3, M bring his R hand to akimbo. Part 2 Repeat in the opposite direction, on opposite feet. Close into Waltz Position at the end. Part 3 1 Mazurka Step in Closed Promenade Position, toward LOD, M beginning L foot. Start to rotate CW on count 3. 2 Rotary Waltz toward LOD, rotating CW, one full turn. 1 Side-Close: side L, close R to L, transfer weight to R on count 3. Part 4 2 Rotary Waltz CW toward LOD. 1 Outside Turn: M stays in place raising his L arm and woman waltzes under the arch of his arm. 1 Woman completes the second half of her solo waltz progressing to the man ahead of her.

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.

SHAPE Straight, Curved, Angular And Twisted
SHAPE straight, curved, angular and twisted WARM UP: Brain Dance ● Notice when your body makes the following shapes: ○ Straight ○ Curved ○ Angular ○ Twisted EXPLORE: Shapes in Your Name ● Write your name on a piece of paper in block letters. ● Trace those letters with your finger to feel the different shapes. 1 ● Make the different letter shapes in your name using your entire body. Feel free to move big, small, high, low, fast, slow -- however you think best illustrates your letters. ● Notice which letters are straight, curved or angular. ● Write your name again using cursive and see how tracing the letters and shaping them with your body is different. CREATE: Letter Sequence Dance Phrase ● Using the letters in your name, create a new series of shape movements. You can move the letters out of order and add repeats. For example, “HEART” might become “HHARRTEE”. Feel free to use block letters or cursive. Or try both to experience the difference. H H A R R T E E H H A R R T E E ● One you have created your new sequence, practice dancing without stops, perhaps repeating it several times. EXPAND: ● Add your favorite music. Be mindful of the speed of the music and see if you can match it as you dance your letter shape sequence. ● For an added challenge, teach your letter shape sequence to someone else and learn theirs. Observe how they dance your movement and see how dancing their movement feels. ● To create a community phrase, add someone else’s letter shape sequence to yours, making it one big sequence.
