We
meet at 2108 N. Fares Avenue (upstairs
room at Tri-State Bearing Company)
Looking
below, you will notice there is no reason NOT to dance. Even though our focus is definitely International Folk Dancing,
we also enjoy letting others know about other dance opportunities and expressions in the tri-state area; not just folk dancing!
Perhaps we will see you at one of these special events, or even better, on our regular Thursday evening dances from 6:30-8:30.
We accommodate all levels, so experience or a partner is unnecessary. Bring yourself, some comfortable shoes and clothes and
give it a try!If
we can be of any service to you or you know of an event that is happening around the area of dance, please let us know. We
rely on everyone to keep us up-to-date on things happening in the Evansville area and even further away. So please stay in
touch. We always look forward to hearing from you.

— there will be something for everyone.
Celest DiPietropaolo has researched traditional village music and
dance from the mountains of southern, central and northern Italy (including Sardinia) since 1983. Celest and his wife Marie
DiCocco, who are currently in the process of moving from Virginia to Vermont, lived and worked in Italy from 1995-98. They
teach dances that are still a part of the community and family festivals and rituals in mountain villages today. Celest (playing
organetto) and Marie (guitar and tamburello) will also provide live Italian music at Saturday night's dance party, along with
John Parrish from Detroit (fiddle and percussion) and members of Columbus' international folk dance band, Mixed Bag.
The weekend starts at 8:00 Friday evening and ends after Sunday lunch. The incredible part is that the cost for the
entire weekend is only $60. For further information or directions visit their website.

the already charged sounds.
They caller for the weekend, Charley Harvey, brings excitement and contagious enthusiasm

most people possible. Smiles and laughter are definitely on the agenda!

on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way. ~ Wayne Dyer
