That terrific newspaper, The Los Altos Town Crier, featured the International Dance Festival@Silicon Valley in its most recent issue. LATC recognizes our Festival as a wonderful addition to the life of its community. The feature was in “Mountain View on the Move.” The Festival certainly does get Mountain View MOVING!

FULL DAY OF DANCE© CLASS SCHEDULE NOW

FULL DAY OF DANCE© is the unique, amazing innovation of International Dance Festival@Silicon Valley. The greatest dance experiences for everyone from pros to beginners. Take something you already know and love AND try something completely new to you! Never danced before? This is your time. A professional ballerina who stays up late watching Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers tap? This is your chance to give it a try. Supportive, enthusiastic teachers. You’ll be in a class with all different levels. Someone might be a complete beginner at classical Indian dance but terrific in tap. Or — a total complete beginner–you name it; it’s all possible. You can take one, some, or all six classes. The price per class reduces with each added class. No special outfits or shoes required. Even for tap, wear a shoe that will stay on your feet; you can learn the rhythms & steps without taps on your soles, but your true soul will be dancing!!! Here’s the class schedule. Doors open at 8:30 a.m. Save time & pay in advance. Information: call 650/969-4110  or see us at facebook/international dance festival silicon valley and at facebook/The Lively Foundation.

Dance Festival Concert & Full Day of Dance©

Where did the time go? I feel as though the Festival just ended a day or two ago. It’s Sept. 10. The Festival Concert was on August 25th, and what a tremendous program it was. A full house audience watched with obvious pleasure. The dances were beautiful, exhilarating, powerful, and even fun. The audience went outside to observe the Festival Dancers perform their site specific works in Pioneer Park, just adjacent to the Masonic Center. It was a beautiful day in the sun and under the big trees. Here are some pictures from rehearsals and performance day. If you missed the Festival this year, don’t let that happen again. Planning for Season number three begins now. It will be a great one. MasonicCenterThis is the Masonic Center: Dance Center for the Festival. Here’s the entrance to the Festival Concert. The Festival Dancers performed Song of the Mountain, a premiere, dances in the park, and Little Cat, set to a Polish folk song. BeingACatHere’s Leslie Friedman demonstrating how the Little Cats will take their bows.Entrance890Ch
