She is a member of several folk dance groups. With the Miami Valley Folk Dancers (MVFD), a recreational international folk dance club in Dayton, Ohio, she has been immersed in a diverse universe of folk dancing of many countries since she was a youngster. She enjoys participating with MVFD on a weekly basis. She is a lead dancer with Bagatelle, an amateur group that performs the folk dances of France. Dona also performs with Zivio!, a group that specializes in preserving the folk dances of the former Yugoslavia. In her spare time, Dona is a member of the band Vatra Ziva, which plays the music of the Balkans. Lorraine Fortner has been an avid Israeli folk dancer for many years. In Dayton she became very active with the Miami Valley Folk Dancers. This broadened her knowledge of dance to many other countries. Although Lorraine’s family heritage is of German origin, she was drafted to help create the core group of dancers known as Bagatelle (French folk dancers). Lorraine enjoys traveling all over the world for business and pleasure. Recent business trips have taken her to France, Austria, Poland, Australia, and England. <ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">Page ii </li><li style="flex:1">Folk Dances for Language Classes, September 21, 2001 </li></ul>GROSSER ATLANTIK (Atlantic Mixer) Type: Formation: German couple mixer.
