Article: Israeli Dance Meeting for Thursday 3/12
Following is the plan for the meeting.
Let me know if you want to add anything to the Agenda
or have suggestions about the format or purpose.
Objective: get input to help us decide what changes
to make with the group.
Meeting Structure: I am going to run the meeting.
Each person will be given a chance to talk once on
each subject for a short amount of time, probably
about 30 seconds.
Intended Result: report back on everyone's input.
This is intended for information gathering. Once we
see how people feel, we will see what plans we can
put together.
Agenda:
1. The Beginners session from 7 to 8
2. The Intermediate session from 8 to 9
3. The Advanced session from 9 onward
4. The fee charged for Israeli Dancing
Think About:
1. What you would like changed for you?
2. What can we do to have more people?
3. How much partner dancing should we do? When?
4. How much teaching of dances?
5. What dances should we be teaching?
6. What dances should we be playing?
Here Is What We Do Now:
1. Beginners 7 to 8
Goal is to help beginners learn to folk dance
and have fun in the process. We try to teach
dance skills such as balance, posture, musicality,
connection, following, partner dance skills, and
an appreciation for the history, culture and variety
of Israeli folk dancing. We have two playlists that we
work off of: Israeli 101 and Israeli 102. See below
for those playlists.
We cater to our regular beginners. If we have new
people, we do at least a few things they can do.
At the very beginning of the beginners session,
we often have a gender balance, and so will do
one or two partner dances.
2. Intermediate 8 to 9
Goal is to solidify the dances we have been learning
so people will remember them. We have a Review playlist.
On this list are the dances that were taught in the
last few months. We may review these dances before
playing them if people have trouble.
Any new dances that we teach, are done during this time.
Any non-beginner dances taught to beginners are also
played in the early part of this session so beginners
get to do those dances twice.
3. Advanced 9 onward
This time is intended for requests.
When there are no requests, I try to find dances that the
people there will enjoy doing. I have playlists for nine people
with dances they requested or I have seen them do and they seem
to like.
I have 15 playlists that are one hour each with 22 dances.
These are listed on the counter next to the sheet of paper
where you can write your requests. These playlists are grouped
by when we learned the dances, with numerous dances mixed in
that I sort of knew at one time, but have surely forgotten.
When everyone who does not want to do partner dances has left,
usually between 9:30 and 10, we do partner dances that people
know. At the end of the evening, when there are only a few
of us left, we do partner dances that only I know.
