All About Yves - Add Your Page to th Online Card for Yves
We received notice during our Friday September 8th dance that Yves Moreau had passed that evening. Most of our post-dance dance discussion was devoted to Yves.
To show our appreciation for all that Yves did for the International Folk dance Community, we produced three Yves Moreau Dance Appreciation Parties (Fridays, 9/15 & 9/22, and Saturday 9/16) as forums where we could express our happiness and appreciation for Yves' contributions to the International Folk Dance Community.
Thanks to all leaders, musicians, tech staff, dancers and observers who participated
