Blossom Festiva'<«WELCOMEThe San Francisco Council of Folk Dance Groups extends a

cordial WELCOME to ALL to come to our Annual Blossom Festival.Our theme is Russian Easter, celebrated this year on April

22nd. This is a religious holiday for Russian peoples withtraditional church services, choirs, blessing of colored eggs,Koulitch cake (tall raisin cake) and paska, ( a pudding made ofcheese curds, eggs and candied fruit). Many social balls areheld by different Russian Societies during this season.

In the late 1860's some Russians fled their homeland toestablish a small group in San Francisco and again in 1922 afterthe Bolshevist Revolution, many of the nobility and profession¬als fled certain death arrivingwith little more than the clotheson their backs. Aided by their countryman, who had establishedthemselves here, they took menial jobs until they could learnthe new language and establish themselves as contributors to thecommunity. They brought with them their music, dance and arts,contributing to the cosmopolitan nature of San Francisco.

We are looking forward to a large attendance at the BlossomFestival, Sunday, April 22, 1979, 1:30 - 6:30 PM.

Please note the location is the Lake Shore Elementary Schoolat Middlefield Road & Eucalyptus. We will ask a $1.00 donationat the door. A Russian costume would be most appropriate!

Ilocano Peasant CostumesThe Ilocano are a group of people located on the North¬

western section of the island of Luzon, but because of the pooreconomy of the region, they were among the first to emigrate toHawaii. The women were reputed to be simple, thrifty, hardworkingand courageous. Their mode of thrifty living is carried overinto their dancing, as the Ilocano dances are done with closedfists. Their dances can be mournful and solemn, expressive oftheir economy.

The Ilocano costume is simple. Women wear a plain loosewhite cotton blouse, edges sometimes scalloped and finished withembroidery, and a skirt called an "Ebel". The "Ebel" is a longskirt of black striped, plaid or check fabric drawn in at thewaist with a few easing pleats. A triangular plaid scarf isworn loosely around the neck/shoulder area.

Men wear white or narrow striped pants and a shirt of col¬ored check or plaid. The shirt opens at the front with a placketand button closure and is slitted up about four inches on thesides. The shirt cuffs are simple, as compared to the frenchcuff of the Barong Tagalog. He wears a scarf/band tied aroundhis head, knotted at the front with the corner sticking up atthe back. He is usually barefooted, but open-type slippers canbe worn with the costume.

influence speaks eloquently of the native folk styles pepperedwith European and Western flavor. Consequently, in places wherethere was stronger and deeper contact with foreigners, influencesfrom those countries are pronounced but nevertheless, to a cer¬tain extent, "Filipinized".Occupational dances denote actions or movements of certainoccupations or industries. The labor and tedious routine aboutrice planting is glorified through a series of dances showingthe whole cycle of plowing the field, sowing, planting, harvest¬ing, threshing, pounding and winnowing the grain, the staplefood of the Filipinos. People living near the sea have dancesand songs about fishing. For example, from the coastal town ofLingayen, province of Pangasinan, comes a beautiful dance calledOASIOAS, a native term meaning "to fling". At night fishermenat sea would signal to their companions on shore if they have abig catch by wrapping their oil lamps in transluscent cloth orfish net. As they go ashore, merrymaking ensues by drinkingnative wine, dancing and flinging their lighted oil lamps.When the Spaniards colonized the islands, foremost in theirmissionwasto convert the people to Catholicism. Although manyprohibitions were imposed on the practice of pagan dances, somewere tolerated to highlight Christian feasts. A good number ofthese dances were preserved through the years. Tribal beliefsand customs subsequently blended themselves into the mainstream.From the province of Bukidnon on the island of Mindanao, dancersperform DUGSO, a mesmerizing ceremonial dance executed with nomusical instrument except for the rhythmic sound of ankle bells.A bowl of fire sits in the center of the floor, for it is be¬

lieved that the smoke carries their thanksgiving offering to thegods. The early Filipinos at the time of the coming of theSpaniards were found to practice Sun Worship synonymous to tri¬bal practices of certain countries. SARAW, which is a contrac¬tion of the Tagalog words "sa araw", meaning to the sun, is afolk dance from the province of Batangas which bears a strik¬ingly antiquated proceeding. Three women dance around threeplates, two of which are filled with rice, corn and fish. Thethird one contains two palm leaves and a piece of cloth.

A modern ritual that exists today and which commands tre¬mendous popularity among childless women is celebrated on thefeast day of St. Pascual Babylon on May 19. Women desiring tobear children, dance their way from the churchyard, around town,then back again to the patio of the church, and finally to thealtar, all this time following the image of the patron saint ina procession with the rest of the devotees. This dance, whichis unnamed, is said to be a combination of American Charlestonand the Spanish Fandango. This fertility dance of the town ofObando, province of Bulacan, is considered unique from otherfestivities and it never fails to attract a large followingevery year.

Filipinos have dances characterized with basic play ele¬ments and as such are considered game dances. One lively rhythmic

Other distinguishing features characterized in many Phil¬ippine folk dances are those performed with songs like LUBI-LUBI (Little Coconut), and LAWISWIS KAWAYAN, (Bamboo). It isnot uncommon, especially in the Visayan islands, to witness ata big dance celebration, the native string orchestra called"rondalla", extemporaneously organizing two groups of the bestsingers in town to alternately sing for a couple dancing theKATSUTA, a couple dance. This often gets to a high point whereeach singing group tries to outdo the other by improvising lyricsto go with the musical accompaniment. The dancers themselvescan get so carried away that a joust like this can extend for along time, depending on the mood of the singers , instrumentalists ,and dancers.

The Spaniards undoubtedly introduced the formal ballroomdances to the Philippines. In a sophisticated and formal gath¬ering like the inauguration of a new Mayor or any high-rankinggovernment official, the ball is traditionally opened by theimportant dignitaries and their ladies dancing the famous Phil¬ippine quadrille, the RIGODON DE HONOR. PASO DOBLE, POLKA, MA¬ZURKA and BALSE are among the European dances that gained promi¬nence amonc the Filipinos.

Philippine folk dances have a unique process of nomencla¬ture. Dances may derive their names from the steps used, likeHAPLIK, PAPURI, POLKA SA NAYON, and MAZURKA BOHOLANA to name afew. Some dances evolve from the combination of dance steps asin JOTABAL, a blending of jota and valse. They may be namedafter persons like PANCHITA, ESPERANZA, and MILIGOY. Birds andanimals are fascinating inspiration in many dances, too. Thereare the ITIK-ITIK (Duck), KALAPATI (Dove), TINOLABONG, (Heron),and PABO (Turkey). ALCAMFOR got its name from the aromaticcamphor plant. AN MAROLis the Visayan term for the Sampaquita,the Philippines' national flower. From the Maranaw tribe in theprovince of Lanao on the island of Mindanao, every daughter ofmuslim royal blood is expected to dance the SINGKIL, a highlyintricate, show-stopping dance which takes its name from thebell-bracelet worn around the ankle. Dances can b^ identifiedafter their places of origin like HABANERA BOTOLENA, which isfrom the town of Botolan, province of Zambales. JOTA MONCADENAcame from the town of Moncada, Tarlac province. PANDANGGUIADOBURAWENO is from the town of Burauen, island of Leyte.

Interestingly enough, Mrs Aquino points out that steppatterns, hand movements and general styling differ from regionto region. In places where living is bountiful, the dances areexuberant and carefree. This is typical of dances from theVisayan, Tagalog, and the Bicol regions. In contrast, in placeswhere life is less abundant and the economy is tight, the dancesare sad, slow, and sometimes mournful. Even the hand movementlike the "kumintang" is executed with the fist half-closed. Thischaracteristic is also manifested in dances from the Ilocos re¬gion.

In essence, Philippine folk dances capture the mood, char¬acter, and temperament of the people, of the 7,102 islandarchi-pelago bonded By the multi-cultural fabric of a variety of in¬fluences.

/^"^-^v^A "Teach Your Children"Sixty students of the Hubbard School in San Jose gave a

folk dance performance for the parents and the Board of Direc¬tors of the Alum Rock School District. The dances were per¬formed with grace and style and a good knowledge of the foot¬work involved in such advanced pieces as Santa Rita, Ada'sKrakowiak, Neopolitan Tarantella, Polyanka and Sukacko Kolo.

This is astounding when one considers that the studentswere aged 7 to 11 years old and are in the 2nd to 7th grades.

They have been taught by Jean Brown, a teacher at the Hub¬bard School, and an ardent folk dancer herself. A discussionwith Ms. Brown brought out the fact that there are about 300students in the school interested in folk dancing and often ahundred or more will crowd into her room to dance or to watchthe dancing.

I am pleased to be able to bring this to the attention offolk dancers. We all know that the future of folk dancing isin the hands of the children of today, but I question just howmany programs similar to this are going on in the State. JeanBrown points out that children of even very young ages are quitecapable of learning the more complex dances and that their in¬terest is maintained. She decries the "shake your finger andpoint your toe" type of dance that so many teachers seem tothink is the limit of capability of children. She maintainsthat dances of that type tend to cause a lack of interest instudents and turn them away from folk dancing in general asbeing a dull activity. The production of 60 top-notch dancerscertainly proves Jean to be correct.

I am bringing this to the attention of folk dancers in orderto alert them to the possibilities of teaching folk dancing tothe very young. Perhaps the various Councils will see fit toset up a committee to visit with the schools in their areas inorder to discuss, give advice on folk dancing, and urge compre¬hensive folk dance teaching programs to the instructors in theschools.

The future folk dancers are the children of today and itis our job to see that they are introduced to folk dancing insuch a way thatitwill intrigue them enough to want to continue.In this respect I believe that Jean Brown is doing a tremendousjob with her program and wish to offer her my congratulations.

Camp, revealing and hilarious accounts of how "instant ethnicBalkan dances" were and are created on demand as a result ofpost-World-War II nationalism. One wonders about other "new"International dances. More feeling for "proper" ethnic style?Whatever "proper" means in this context, it most certainly re¬presents someone's firm conviction that this is how it OUGHT tobe, even if it is not. Few of even the most dedicated Americankolo-philes would enjoy dancing the same pravo for three hoursas Yves Moreau did in a Rhodopes village some years ago. LawtonHarris observed in 1949 that ethnic-American groups such asGreeks, Armenians, and the like, in the Central Valley and BayArea were at that time changing their style of dancing and dancesin favor of more variety, and to avoid the long repetitive se¬quences which heretofore had characterized'them. The descriptionof the style of the Bourees dance in Berry in 1947, written byRoger Blanchard in 1947, and the description of the style of theBourees danced there today as related by Germain Hevert in 1978bear little resemblance. (The ethnic-folk who dance often seemto have little regard for the "proper" ethnic style!)

Zeybekiko(Greece)

Zeybekiko (zeh-BEH-kee-koh), as its name suggests, is a dance of the Zeybecks, people of Greek originwho are centered around Smyran (Izmir) in western Turkey. This dance was originally a slow-moving,heavy-footed war dance. It has often been called the dance of the eagle, a symbol of power, becausethe dancers move and turn with their arms outstretched resembling a bird. It is a free form dance;the patterns change at the whim of the dancers. The following variations were taught at the 1962 and1963 University of the Pacific Folk Dance Camp by Oliver (Sonny) Newman.MUSIC Record: Express 265 E (45) Zeybekiko;

****** LONG-RANGE STUDY COMMITTEE REPORT *********Federation President, Bruce Wyakoff, appointed the Long-

range Study Committee to identify problems facing the Federationand to suggest solutions to such problems. The aorrmittee beganby requesting folk dancers to fill out a questionnaire and tocomment on the Federation's functions.

To date well over one hundred completed questionnaires andten letters have been received. Answers and comments from aboutthree-fourths of the questionnaires have been tabulated. Theremainder still needs to be tabulated and the results need tobe analyzed and correlated.

Responses have been received from all council areas al¬though very few have come from Marin, Fresno, and Redwood. Eightcame from outside Northern California including one each fromFlorida, New Mexico and Texas. More than two-thirds are fromFederation members. Most respondents (sixty-six) felt that theFederation performs some useful functions. Some of these aredance descriptions, festivals, institutes, calendar. Let's Dance,teacher training, insurance, promotion ......... Problem areasmost often mentioned were:

Predominantly "old blood" in Federation offices and com¬mittees (17)

Lack of new, younger dancers (15)Too many squares on festival programs (12)Resistance to change (inflexibility) (11)Split between line, couple and ethnic dancers (9)Too many new dances (5)Next month we will tell you some of the suggested solutions

to the above and other problems._________________________Frank Bacher, Vi Dexheimer, AT Lisin

THE ^"Peoples' Folk Dance Party" and^^ San Jose Festival

The "Peoples' Folk Dance Party" and the San Jose Festivalare behind us. - Two groups of people striving toward the samegoal. - "To provide an opportunity for folk dancers from a widearea to get together for a weekend of fun and dancing." We mayhave differing opinions on how to achieve that goal, but let usremember it is a common goal.PEOPLES' PARTY: (an experimentation in programming)

The program was made up from lists 15 teachers submitted,each listing the 100 favorite dances of their groups. Thosedances appearing on six lists or more, were included in the pro¬gram. (Keep in mind, clubs doing mostly line dances were in¬cluded also.) There were 52 dances on the publicized programplus five Institute dances taught that afternoon, and there wastime for 5 requests, a total of 62 dances for a 4 hour program.(26 no-partner dances and 36 couple dances) 33 of these 62 dancesare on the 1976 and 1978 Folk Dance Popularity Lists. There wasone hour of live music provided by the Kopachka Band. Attend¬ance was 321 dancers. The floor was always well-filled andwith that many dances offered, not knowing a few provided timeto have some refreshments and chat with old friends or meet newones. The party was at the gym of Hoover Jr. High School witha nice wood floor. Yes, it was crowded, but it gave an atmo¬sphere of "party" and excitement. My daughter's comment thenext morning: "I didn't do many couple dances, but it didn'tmatter so much, there were plenty of good line dances I coulddo, and lots of friendly people!"SUNDAY FESTIVAL:

The program had a mixture of old established dances andnewer ones taught over the last few years. On the Sunday after¬noon program were 33 dances plus 3 tips of Squares. 9 were no-partner dances. Besides exhibitions, therewastime for about 6requests. Counting squares,a total of 45 dances for the 4 hourperiod. Attendance was about 250 dancers. It was held at thenew Convention Center; a beautiful big hall with a good soundsystem, but unfortunately the parquet floor is laid on cement.The size of the hall would be great for 600 dancers; for 250, itwas too big and impersonal.

PROGRAM COMPARISON:The same number of couple dances were on both programs, so

dancers preferring couple dances had equal representation bothdays, while line-dance lovers had an almost equal opportunity onSaturday, but very little on Sunday.

26

to the end. For a singleeven the most fantasticYou cannot do a couple

From my point of view, the Peoples' Party accomplished whatitwas meant to. It brought together folk dancers from the linedance oriented groups and the ones doing predominantly coupledances, andallwere ableto dance a great many dances. We failed,however, to keep many of them here for the Festival. Whether itwas because of "Super Bowl Sunday" or personal reasons, orwhether the Festival program had not enough line dances, I donot know. I would encourage response from all who did not comeas to their reasons.

I went to the Festival and stayedperson without a guaranteed partner,couples program can be frustrating,dance alone, and even though we try to be good sports and dancewith other ladies, believe me it is not the same! I think moreline dances on the program are most important. Kolo Hour isfine, but I would much rather have an integrated program offer¬ing some more challenging lines. We cannot expect people toattend a festival just for 1 or 1-1/2 hours of line dances of¬fered before the evening program, and expect them to stay aroundfor a practically all-couples program for the rest of the week¬end. I do not advocate separate parties (line dances in oneroom - couple dances in another) either. I like all kinds ofdances, and dreamer that I am, like to see dancers of all agesand dance preferences enjoy a festival together.

The people putting on festivals work hard to provide theseopportunities, and constant efforts are made to please you, thedancer. Let us support them and show our appreciation. If youhave constructive ideas let them be known, but above all, attendthe festivals, be friendly and outgoing and ask a stranger fora dance.

Profits from the Peoples' Party were distributed to Schol¬arship Funds.

Recent holidays were, as usual, not holidays for the Teeners,who were kept busy with programs at convalescent hospitals. Es¬pecially appreciated were the Armenian Dances they performed atthe Armenian Home for the Aged, where one tiny lady tottered on¬to the floor beside the dancers and clapped enthusiasticallyduring Hopak.

Because of a 50% increase in rent if the kitchen is used.Central Valleys Folk Dancers have discontinued the monthly pot-lucks. Finger foods are the order of the day. Bobbie McQuoneis the new President of Central Valleys Club, and Martha Froe-lichisthe new Vice President.

While Square Rounders still have a potluck on 1st Satur¬days, the weekly refreshments consist of finger foods broughtby each person with coffee provided by the club. Square Roundersattendance has been at low ebb, but every missing dancer had agood excuse. We hope everyone will be back next week and afterthe lapse, be rarin' to dance.

The first moments of folk dancing are a traumatic experi¬ence as evidenced recently in a new fourth grade class. Theleader of the line promptly informed me that he "wasn't goingto do any dancing". Since that attitude can spread through awhole group like the measles, I quickly informed him that hisjob for the next 30 minutes was to follow instructions and thathe could immediately join our circle and get on with his work orhe could go to the principal's office. The choice was his. Hethought for a long moment, then heaved a sigh and answered,"Well, I guess I'll do it, but it sure takes a lot of guts!"Two weeks later, he is enjoying himself immensely.
