Today, this ever-growing and expanding organization brings together an inclusive, celebratory, and welcoming global community of passionate amateurs and professionals, to respectfully share the richness and complexity of Balkan music, dance, and cultures. Due to COVID-19, our organization had to cancel our bi-costal summer workshops. Losing regular camp programming this year will hurt in more ways than one as roughly 80% of our annual income comes from our workshops. ​We ​need​ ​your​ ​help​ to see us through this uncertain time, and to ensure that—when the danger has passed—we can gather once more in celebration! This event has a suggested donation of $15 for a single class or $50 for all 4 classes. Send your donation via Paypal to [email protected], or donate here: https://eefc.org/join-the-circle/covid-19. The class will have a private FB group for community building, and classes will be conducted via Zoom. – Register here: https://forms.gle/Mn889t5WdTdoyNtG8 – To learn more about our organization, please visit www.eefc.org – Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/237541120810158 Links to Other Virtual Dancing-9 • Other Websites with Virtual Dance Information – Sacramento International Folk Dance and Arts Council (SIFDAC) – Dance Calendar » Website: https://folkdancesac.org/dance-calendar.html » Email: [email protected] – Dale Adamson Virtual Dance Blog/Website – Surrey, BC » Lots of links to other Virtual Dance Events in her Blog! • https://daleadamson.com/ » Lots of links to other Virtual Dance Events in her Calendar • https://daleadamson.com/events-calendar/ » Email: [email protected] – Veselo Folk Dancers – Eugene, OR » Links to Oregon and other Virtual Dance Events » https://veselofolkdancers.org » Contacts: Shirley Reeves (541) 683-6197 Dan Downes (541) 683-3688 Linda Ketchum (541) 726-7548 Join Us in the Virtual Dance Room Fridays, 8:00pm-10:00pm CDT brought to you by Ethnic Dance Chicago Door County Folk Festival Restarting… https://zoom.us/j/8478468139 Get Password: ww.virtualdanceroom.net/subscribe/ www.virtualdanceroom.net [email protected] +1 847-846-8139 While there is no charge to participate, please consider making a donation to support production of the Virtual Dance Room.
