Hi friends,
Our next Global Folk Dance Party is Sat, Sept 19! Facebook event posting here. Flyer here with working links.
We love having people from around the world come together in a global party. In addition to our regular Dance Leaders, we’ll be joined by guest Dance Leaders.
A few things:
SOFA Thursdays is “A Thing”!
Last week we officially, but quietly, launched our SOFA Thursdays series. SOFA is an acronym for Some Other Folk Arts, to differentiate its subject matter from our Saturday dance workshop series!
Tonight on the SOFA we introduce Bennett Clifford who is presenting a cooking class based on his experiences in Georgia where he lived, worked, and studied. The recipes he will share with us are posted on his page along with other details!
Topics and leaders coming up include Kathryn Black presenting her Estonian Craft Experience (September 24), Susan Lind-Sinanian demonstrating Making Paklava (October 1), and An Evening with Zdravets (October 8).
The Online Series page lists all the workshops, and includes links to event-specific pages that give you even more information.
Speaking of links ….
We always post a link to the Zoom link for the week’s offerings on the event-specific pages. It is encased in a bright yellow box, outlined in red and the link itself – “activating this link” – are in bold and burgundy-colored. You can’t miss it!

From Gurdeep Pandher:
I have exciting news to share. My online Bhangra dance-fitness classes are coming back soon. So it is time to dance again.
For your health and happiness during the ongoing pandemic, the classes are 100% free for the first month due to the kind sponsorship from British Columbia’s SPARKMOUTH. Born in BC, SPARKMOUTH is a refreshing, non-alcoholic, caffeine-free sparkling water that uses natural flavours from fruits to promote clean and healthy living. More information can be found on SPARKMOUTH’S website http://www.sparkmouth.com.

The Folk Arts Center has a new committee of volunteers, the Group Advising on Strategic Planning (acronymically known as GASP!). The series is designed to highlight other traditional arts forms – Some Other Folk Arts (or SOFA), if you will. Therefore, the Thursday series will spotlight a wide-ranging collection of artists and artisans demonstrating and/or talking about their crafts!
We will kick off the series next Thursday, September 10, with Richard Powers, who will be with us as we re-broadcast his recent talk on the Swing and Jazz age. If you missed it the first time, we hope you can clear your calendar and join us next week. And if you were there and are like me, it will be a great opportunity to watch it again and pick up all the tangy details you missed the first time around!
The next week is Bennett Clifford, live from his kitchen on September 17 as he shares with us recipes he enjoyed and mastered while he lived in the Republic of Georgia! We will appreciate not only the cooking, but stories of his experiences in Georgia to go along with it!
October 1 will feature Susan Lind-Sinanian making Armenian paklava. Many of you […]

Omaha International Folk Dancers meets on Zoom
Sundays 3:00 to about 5:00 CENTRAL time.
Zoom link has changed to:
https://zoom.us/j/95150803709?
Contact Catherine Rudin for more info.
Dancin’ in the Seats has moved entirely to Zoom (no longer on FB LIve) and is now at noon Eastern on Mondays and Wednesdays. If people want the Zoom link they can contact me on Facebook (see below)
Also, I offer the same class on Tuesday and Thursday at 3pm Eastern, also on Zoom. The two different times are to make it easier to fit with people’s schedules and time zones.
Dancin’ in the Seats is a unique program of seated dances to a variety of music. They are simple, fun, and get the whole body moving. Because they are seated, there is no worry about losing one’s balance, or bumping into things or tripping while moving around. All ages and abilities find these dances delightful.
These are all seated dances!
