Dallas International Folk Dancers
Welcome to DIFD
Join us Every Sunday!
Welcome to everyone--young or old, experienced or beginner! Please join us for a fun afternoon of international folk dancing. We meet Sundays from 2 to 4 pm in the beautiful Plaza Arts theater (it has a wood floor for comfortable dancing) in historic downtown Carrollton.
Greetings to all the dancing Villagers out there.
We will be dancing at the Plaza Arts Center in downtown Carrollton on Sunday, April 13 from 2:00 – 4:30. $5.00 per person, cash only.
Laurel will be reviewing the Bulgarian dance, Vitanovo Horo, also known as Vitanovsko Horo. You can find many videos on YouTube, but this version is one that was modified by Professor Anton Adonov and is done to a different song than usual, is faster and has slightly different choreography. This dance is from the Shopean region of Bulgaria. The folklore of the Shop ethnographic region is characterized by speed of movement, dynamism, and the so-called "natrisane" (which means to move or jump rapidly - to spring). The dance is firm, rich, varied, emotional and boisterous like the character of the residents of this area.
On Sunday, April 20, we will be dancing at You Can Dance Dallas Studio in Addison from 2:00 – 4:00 PM only. The address is 14833 Inwood Rd, #600, Addison, TX 75001. Please enter at the left (east) side of the building.) This will be our monthly party, celebrating Passover, Easter, and the birthdays of Sharon, Shannon, Shelley, Kaye and Dorothy. Feel free to bring a snack or beverage to share. $5.00 per person, cash only.
