October 2007 In This Issue: ● Csardas Youth Participate in Dance Camp in Hungary/ Present Three Informal Performances ● Blog! ● Richard Graber Conducts Hungarian Dance Workshops ● New Choreographies from Dance Camp ● Csardas Performance/Event Reviews Csardas Youth Participate in Dance Camp in Hungary/ Present Three Informal Performances 
Eleven members of Csardas Dance Company toured Hungary for 2 weeks
this summer and participated in a week-long Dance Camp on the shores
of Lake Balaton south of Budapest. Our youth learned new techniques,
styles and dances taught by Dance Master Sándor Timár, former
Hungarian State Folk Ensemble Director. Our students shared the
dance floor with more than 80 members of the 300 member
Csillagszemű (Starry Eyed) Dance Company , which Master Timár
and his wife, Böske, direct. Csardas Youth also had the pleasure of presenting three informal performances in Hungary this summer! The first was in Kalocsa where one of their dances is from, and the other two were at the Dance Camp. All performances were received with sincere and enthusiastic reviews and audience members were touched by our dancers' abilities and presentation or their cultural heritage. Csardas would like to thank all who supported our involvement with the dance camp including the Cleveland Hungarian Development Panel, William Penn Foundation, WCPN-Kapossy Radio and individual supporters. The photo here shows us with Sándor and Böske Timár. For more photos of this event, please see our BLOG (see next article...). Blog! Csardas Dance Company is pleased to announce our first Blog!
