Yesterday, I noted the article in Westways on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aaa-calif.com\/westways\/1105\/features\/turns.asp\" target=\"_blank\">Regency and Period Dancing<\/a>. Today, I was reading the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Los Angeles Times<\/a>, where I found an article on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.calendarlive.com\/stage\/cl-ca-celtic30oct30,0,1723232.story?track=widget\" target=\"_blank\">resiliance of the Celtic Arts Center<\/a> in <a href=\"http:\/\/local.google.com\/maps?q=4843+Laurel+Canyon+Blvd.,+Valley+Village,+CA&#038;iwloc=A&#038;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">Valley Village<\/a> (actually, right near <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tbhla.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">our synagogue<\/a>). So I went out to the webpage for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.celticartscenter.com\/Main.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Celtic Arts Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It turns out that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They have a regular <a href=\"http:\/\/www.celticartscenter.com\/Main.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Monday night Irish C\u00e9il\u00ed Dance<\/a> at 8pm, followed by a Celtic Seisi\u00fan at 9pm.\n<li>They have regular <a href=\"http:\/\/www.celticartscenter.com\/Theater_Productions\/2005_Season\/Dylan.html\" target=\"_blank\">Irish theatre productions<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.celticartscenter.com\/CACConcert.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Celtic music concerts<\/a>\n<li>They have almost monthly celebrations.\n<li>They have a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.celticartscenter.com\/Classes\/2005\/FallSemester.html\" target=\"_blank\">full schedule of classes<\/a>, including classes in Morris dancing, step dancing, and C\u00e9il\u00ed Dance.<\/ul>\n<p>Looks like a place worth investigating (from my point of view, for the theatre program). Of course, knowing the way the dance stuff is popping out, next I&#8217;ll find some suitable Israeli dancing in the valley, and get back into learning it (and exercising).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few months ago, I would have been hard pressed to know where ethnic and period dancing was in the Valley (although I probably could have contacted my High School friend, David &#8220;Shorty&#8221; Kamins).
