Westwind International Folk Ensemble

 

  Westwind International Folk Ensemble is a non-profit performing ensemble dedicated to the preservation through performance of authentic folk styles and traditions of dance, music, and song with a unique emphasis on cultural context. Our suites are drawn from ethnic celebrations, historic events, and the lives of real people; every attempt is made to preserve original folk traditions.

  DANCERS WANTED  

Westwind is currently seeking dancers (if you can sing too, it's a bonus). We welcome you to an opportunity to perform with a company with an impressive history dating back to 1959. We are looking for dancers who are passionate about learning a wide range of dance styles from Turkey, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe to the Americas. We encourage people with backgrounds in all areas of dance to participate in the 2008 open rehearsals. They are held in Richmond on Wednesday nights from 7:30 to 10 PM.

For more information, please contact Brennan Kreller, Artistic Director at (415) 373-8995.
