Paros Circle Dance week June 2020 is now full.
We were taken by surprise as it's the first time we have filled up over a year ahead of the date. We apologise to all those disappointed. There are still places left for early Sept 2020 in S France, a larger venue (bi-annual event). We suggest booking very early for Paros 2021. We are pleased to announce 2020 dates for Harmony Magic on Paros. Helen Yeomans will return 22nd - 29th May. Contact Hannah on harmonymagicparos@gmail.com if you would like to book.
UK doctors can now prescribe dance instead of anti-depressant pills. Teachers & enthusiasts, let's put together a brief fact-based statement about circle dance.
It requires no partner and no special aptitude. Suits people of all ages and body types - and has a calm, mindful dimension to balance the excitement. A perfect fit for doctors and patients of all ages. Malka (Stefan's first short film) is about to be screened at her 15th International Film Festival and has just been featured in a newspaper.
Details here: Ipswich artists take short-film worldwide Some beautiful images of our week in L'Hameau de l'Etoile near Montpellier in Southern France. We'll be back there again 1st - 8th September 2020.     
‘Malka’ is a song, a circle dance and a short film, created by Stefan, and dedicated to refugee children worldwide.
The poignant film was produced in collaboration with artist Lois Cordelia and film editor Tony Mounter (a fellow dance teacher) and has been used successfully in fundraising events. Malka has just had her first vodka (hic!) having been selected for a film festival in Moscow. Other film festival showings have been in Germany, Greece, India, Israel (Nazareth), Romania, UK (London) and USA (Woodstock, Washington and Delaware). Where next?! Malka recently won a commendation + Best Music Award at Kolkata Shorts Film Festival: Calcutta.
Below you can click on the link to download a file of the Malka music.
And here the circle dance and its choreography notes.
Wowww! Paros dance week is almost full for next year already!
The dance linked to below, Rosanka, is one of the new collection I introduced in Paros this year; a homemade dance to upbeat music from Poland. The humorous love song features an unruly horse and a rose garden . Affectionate credit to the dance Walenki which inspired the first part of the dance. https://www.facebook.com/stefan.freedman.7/videos/10155506267870978/ Fun memories of doing the chipmunk dance in the Catskills camp many years ago. Thanks Ted Erhard. 
Structured dance is the best multivitamin + antioxidant with the added benefits of enjoyment and friendship.
With a growing body of research, doctors, educators and policy makers will rapidly start recommending and funding it for social and individual wellbeing. In the world's surviving indigenous and traditional societies EVERYBODY dances regularly. They really know what they are doing! |
