"Love and Light" in India

"Love and Light" in India
"Dear Bill and Livia,
Kamura community is profoundly grateful to both of you for the beautifully unforgettable evening you have gifted us. You teach more than steps, always. I wish your tribe of musicians and dancers may grow and spread across the world so that a more compassionate and less violent life is possible. We are deeply inspired to learn more folk dances and songs and take them to people. 

Hope to continue our conversations. Love and light.

Weekend Reflections

Well, our show went smoothly on Sunday at the Ellenville High School. Into the Light filled the audience with warmth as we danced dances from Sweden, Poland, India, Nigeria... As we danced Chanukah and Christmas dances, and celebrations of light and the winter solstice. Accompanied by our musicians and the singers of Barely Lace, the theater was full of authentic sounds and beautiful music. Our story of young Lucia was welcomed by all as Neve Parker did an extraordinary job with her beautiful dancing. 

Rehearsals starting early Sunday, with dancers of all ages coming together. When not on stage, we readied ourselves backstage and helped prepare costumes and Arm-of-the-Sea's puppets. The CaravanKids from Ellenville joined us and fit right in, making friends easily with our little dancers from New Paltz. 

We had a wonderful time sharing our dance and celebration with all, as we always do.
