Dance Camp Traditions

Yeah, dance camp is about dancing.Like yesterday’s dancesa smoking hot Israeli dance I barely kept up with (Orot Ve Ashan), or the cool Bulgarian during the afternoon workshop or the tricky English Country dance, Chocolate for Breakfast.The delightful Canon Polska Schottische and the challenging Vira Cruzada.Plus the always frantic fun squares.

But Stockton Folk Dance Camp also has its traditions.The picture day on Tuesday night where we all shared our finest costumes.The Wednesday night live auction, which always includes a chocolate Kahlua cake that this year went for something like $175.Our squares caller, Jerry Helt, runs the auction with his trademark patter.

Then there’s Hat Night on Thursday.We all don our most beautiful, most outlandish, craziest and just plain ugly headwear and proudly dance around the room showing them off.What a great opportunity for a bunch of adults to just plain get silly.
