Augusta's open-air Dance Pavilion
will be hopping to the beat of Dance Week in 2010.
Dance Week 
Coordinator
Cis
Hinkle
has enlisted world-class musicians and dance instructors  to
keep everyone happy
and on their toes! With several dance floors on campus, many options
are open to all.
Cis Hinkle
[top left]
and
Nils Fredland will get everyone moving with contras and squares. This summer
Augusta is delighted to welcome back Bill
Litchman, who will share his skill, humor, and decades
of experience with students in the Square Dance Calling class.
Edwin & Amberlyn Roa [top

will teach couples Argentine tango, Swing, and European Waltz. Contemporary step dancing, flatfooting, and percussive
dance will be taught by
Matthew Olwell. Try
out Emily
Oleson’s [bottom
left] hip hop class!
For
a break from dancing, there’ll be workshops in dance calling,
playing music for dancing, running your group’s soundboard,
and even  t'ai
chi [ bottom right].”
This year
there will be powerful, high-energy dance music provided by
Elixir and Light and Hitch. You can also try out new skills learned each day at
evening dances or attend the concerts, films, and other special presentations each evening.
Participants
may select optional classes and workshops listed under Vocal
Week and the afternoon instrumental and folklore offerings of
Old-Time Week. Dance Week extends through the Augusta Festival.
To
register,
specify “Dance Week” as the name of your class.
Do not list individual classes.

Waltz
Across Breakfast:
On the
porch of Halliehurst mansion, beginning at around 8:15, come
waltz your way into your day. R. P. Hale will head up the
music, plus whoever would like to join him. There is no instruction,
it’s just a magical way to begin the day. |
