Nov 2013 - VaNa MaZi was born through a mutual interest in culture and a love for the music of the People (Folk). With a song bank collected through Ian J. Everett and Corinne Zappler's years of travel, they fuse together the music of Greece, Italy, Central Asia, and the Balkans with Gypsy Jazz, Turkish beats, and a pinch of their own American heritage. They strive to perform, arrange, and compose music that challenges the listener to open their ears and experience something new, something ancient, something contradictory even, yet something that is most definitely moving forward through space at a speed that cannot be measured merely in 4/4 time. Filmed at the Bristol Renaissance Faire in 2013.

2018 The Association of Pontian Rizos dances Titara in the Mill of the Elves

The Magic of Christmas Returns ... In a truly magical place ... in the city of Trikala and in the old "Matsopoulos Mill", the Magic of Christmas comes to life in an impressive way this year as well. From the end of November until the beginning of January, the old chimneys come forward and spread incredible smells. The gears are lubricated, the machines are repaired and they are ready to make as many toys and sweets as they can. The "Elven Mill" is the most impressive example of the development and operation of cultural action by a Local Government Organization in Greece. By common confession today the "Elven Mill" is in many ways (operating days, number of events and activities, promotion, attendance, etc.) the leading event (not just Christmas) in Greece.

  • The Mystery Dance Theme was continued on August 4th from the Friday July 21st dance
    • Barbara Bleisch (St Louis) guessed correctly (on the 21st) that all the dances had movements into the center and out / or forward to the center and back
      • We wanted 1 or 2 or more prize-winners, so the theme continued on August 4 and all hosts (Melissa, Theresa, Barbara-B) included theme dances in their sets
    • Erika Nadas (Chicago, IL), a fellow dancer and college mate of mine, got a 95% noting that all dances had movement into and out of the center - Erika also suggested that the dances seemed to then progress around the circle, but several did not.
    • Don Weeda (Austin, TX) took a look at the list and sent an email guessing that all dances had backing up, but not all went forward - which was only half correct. Besides, Besides, Don did not actually login, so he gets a 50% (and an honorable mention) but no fabulous prizes.

2019 Key & Peele - Macedonian Cafe - Most Stressful Restaurant Experience Ever!

Two people trying out a new Macedonian restaurant inadvertently find themselves caught in the middle of a fierce cultural rivalry.

About Key & Peele: Key & Peele showcases the fearless wit of stars Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele as the duo takes on everything from "Gremlins 2" to systemic racism. With an array of sketches as wide-reaching as they are cringingly accurate, the pair has created a bevy of classic characters, including Wendell, the players of the East/West Bowl and President Obama's Anger Translator.

    • The Mystery Theme was the percussive elements of Snaps, Claps and Slaps!
    • Martha Awdziewicz (San Diego, CA) proposed that most of the dances in Set 100 had claps and/or snaps.
      • Martha's missing component was slaps, but that's close enough for folk.
    • Martha guessed 2/3 of the Dance Program Theme from April 8th and 15th so she and her dancing cat Alfred will get a 2/3 prize.
    • So Martha and Alfred won the marvelous prize this time around and will tell you about it when they receive it.

    • Theme #1 - Most dances in Set 100 had a common characteristic that might be recognizable by many dancers.
      • Guess the March Set 100 Theme #1 and win a fabulous prize!
      • Hint #1: Consider the time of year
      • Hint #2: Two dances in Set 100 do not exactly follow the common characteristic, but they have a commonality to the theme in a different way
      • Hint #3: Three dances (on 3/11) and two dances (on 3/18) in our illustrious Guest Host's Sets share this common characteristic
      • Final Hint #4: Look Everywhere on Zoom - Verbal clues (announcements) were done for most dances and visual clues (CHAT & CLOSED CAPTION messages) were provided for all dances in Set 100
        • The name(s) of the women responsible for these dances were announced before almost every dance.
        • The CHAT and CLOSED CAPTION windows had the dance names along with name(s) of the women responsible for these dances for almost every dance.
    • In honor of International Women's Month (March), most March theme dances were introduced to the IFD community by women. The remaining songs/dances were performed by women musicians.
    • It appears that we had a winner on March 18th - Dierdre Rees (Belmont, MA) says that she said a "WILD GUESS" of WOMEN on 3/18, but did not put her guess in CHAT, so it seems as though Dierdra has won the marvelous prize this time around.
    • Special Theme #2 - Dances in Set 500 followed the theme of Celebrating and Honoring the Dance Legacy of Atanas Kolarovski
      • Atanas passed away at the age of 94 on March 3rd at home with his family in Macedonia
      • We did 29 Atanas dances in our "Set 500 Atanas Dance Marathon" on March 11th
      • We did 5 more Atanas dances at the beginning of Set 500 on March 18th

    • Guess the theme and win a fabulous prize
    • Since the previous theme (all vocals) was not guessed, the fabulous prize for guessing this theme correctly is doubled
    • This theme was not guessed, so it will be repeated next week and the prize will again be doubled
  • Theme #2 - All dances in Set 500 follow the theme of Celebrating and Honoring the Dance Legacy of Atanas Kolarovski
