AN EASY-TO-MAKE QKnaiHiaH e<^^t^*^By Marjorie Posner

HjQjr. 1950 Costume EditorThis article is taken from previous issues of LET'S DANCEand edited for current use. . . ED.

Of all the folk-dance costumes, the Ukrainian seems to beone of the most popular styles, so I am going to describe boththe woman's and the man's.

WOMAN'S:

FIG. I The woman's BLOUSE is really blouse and petticoatin one piece and is cut from white linen or linen-like cotton(Indian Head is a good choice). The diagram shows the shape ofthe various pieces used. The long rectangle can be from 20 to30 inches wide depending on where you want the drop- shoulderline to come on you. Sleeves should be at least 20 inchesaround and gathered slightly at the shoulder and more at thewrist to fit into a cuff about 2 inches wide. If you find thepetti coat too narrow at the bottom you may add a long narrowpiece under the arm to widen the skirt part but don't make itwider than two yards as it will bunch up under the straightskirt. There should be embroidery on the edge where the sleevegathers on, a rather heavy peice there; and on the bottom is anarrow band in a design similar to that on the shoulder piece.Red and black are best colors to use. There can also be scat¬tered designs on the full sleeve or lines of narrow design downthe sleeve, straight or on the diagonal. If you are going todo hand embroidery on this blouse try to make it of linen as itlasts much longer than cotton. You may use embroidered braidto simulate embroidery, if'possible using a geometric designrather than a floral one. For authentic embroidery designswhich must be worked over canvas or by counting threads, thereare a number of sources. The neckline has a drawstring or anelastic to make it fit snugly. A square gusset is used underthe arm to avoid pulling on the seams when your arm goes up.

FIG. II The SKIRT is made of one straight piece of ma¬terial and should be of wool or similar heavy material. Orig¬inally the skirts were woven in a checked pattern with flowersor other designs in the squares. The closest we can come tothis is to use a checked material plain or with embroidered de¬signs added to the checks. The skirt should be of a dark red,blue, or green and should be more or a check than a plaid. Forthe average figure you will need a piece of material 36 x 60inches. This is folded in half so you have a skirt that is 36X 30. Along the long edge sew a small seamor casing for adraw-string to tie around your waist. Split the top layer of materialup the back in the center and finish the edges with narrow hems.

//^ ITYour skirt should now look like the diagram. You may add sixtassels to the corners for decoration as shown. This skirt isworn simply by tying the string around your waist so the cornersat the waist come together. It is a good idea to hook them sothey will stay, securely. Yo^ur blouse is boot-top length so theskirt should be just short e'nough to show the embroidery on thebottom of the blouse-petticoat.

FIG. Ill The JACKET is usually made of velveteen or a woolmaterial and is fitted to the wearer. The back has gores so thejacket will flare out in ripples below the ' p.is+l in'?. In frontit has a diagonal closing and a high neck. There are no sleeves.All the edges may be trimmed with heavy braid in the same coloror a dark color, or it may be left plain. The jacket should beabout finger-tip length.

FIG. IV The APRON is made of the same material as thejacket or it can be of white linen. It is a straight piece ona drawstring and should not be gathered but should lie flat. The/jhite aprons are embroidered like the blouse in similar patternsat the bottom. The heavy aprons have embroidery or braid trimat the bottom. Both are fringed. The apron should be a littleshorter than the skirt.

^-rnrnrmrm

/=/6 jy...

TO ASSEMBLE, first comes the blouse-petticoat. Over that go6sthe skirt with the opening in front from the waist down which iscovered by the apron. All this is held together by a sash, pre¬ferably red, and long enough to go around the waist several times.Tie on the left side, and have ends dangling to below the hip.Next come the jacket, boots, jewelry, and a head-dress. Themost popular jewelry is corals, crystal or glass beads are nextand old coins or crosses are also worn.The head-dress is a wreath (not a high Russian style crown) offlowers sewn to elastic, with ribbons in back hanging to thewaist. Boots should be black but red ones may be worn.

MEN'S:

The SHIRT is the most important part of this costume . Whitelinen or linen-like cotton such as Indian Head is preferred ascolors were worn only by nobility wishing to distinguish them¬selves from the peasants. All the pieces for this pattern arestraight with the sizes shown for about a 42" chest.

The first step is to mark the center front line of the pieceof material for the body with pins or chalk, then mark theshoulder line similary so you know the exact center of yourmaterial.

Measure around the neck with a tape and divide by 3.1416.Divide that number by 2 to give the radius of the neck openingfrom which you cut a paper pattern. Cut the pattern one halfinch smaller to allow for the seammaterial. Center the pattern1 inch toward the back of the shirt. Be sure your circle iscentered from side to side but 1" of it must extend over theshoulder line toward the back of the shirt. Cut out the neckopening and cut down the center front 10". Ukrainian shirtsalways open down the center front and Russian on the side.

Embroidery or braid forms a trim for about 4" on either sideof the front opening and from the shoulder line to the bottomof the center front cut. This center opening should be facedwith the same embroidery or braid used on the outside so whenthe collar is worn open the inside looks just as good as theoutside.

This must be tied tightly or itwill not stay.The hat worn with this costume is a cylinder of black car¬acul with a top of red wool, worn squashed down on the head.

Fur should be about 6" wide.EDITOR'S NOTE: Sinre this article was written 25 years ago itis most evident that there are many more choices of materialsfor making any costume. For dancing purposes the new .cotton-polyester blends and other combinations of materials can beused to great advantage.

INTERNATIONAL FOLK DANCE CONCERTA Huge Success!

Over 135 musicians, singers, and dancers presented the "In¬ternational Folk Dance Concert of 1975" at the San Mateo HighSchool Auditorium on Saturday night, September 27 before a nearcapacity crowd.It was the Folk Dance Federation's first presentation of aconcert for the public, under the auspices of the P^erformingArts for Youth Society (PAYS), in cooperation with the SanMateo Union School District.

From the enthusiastic, glowing comments offered by the audi¬ence, it was indicated that the special talents and unusual actsof music, song, and dance were comparable to many professionalpresentations.

The program opened with a medley of seldom seen Swiss dancespresented by the ENSEMBLE INTERNATIONAL in the official costumesof the Uoiitkue-X area near Lake Geneva, Switzerland.

Two members of the CHORAL DANCE GROUP of San Francisco fol¬lowed with the a gentle lilting slovac dance.

A Spanish JALEO, or dancing jam session, including tvoaoplcu,oi Leu, Se,vUlancii were presented by the TERPSICHOREANS of SanFrancisco.

SANDI MOREY, a member of RIKUDOM, presented vocal renditionsof traditional American songs to guitar accompaniment, as aprelude to a demonstration of precision-type Appalachian-StyleClogging, offered by the DIABLO MOUNTAIN CLOGGERS, which broughtthe audience to its feet.

A Roumanian dance of circles and lines was presented byCHANGS INTERNATIONAL FOLK DANCERS of San Francisco, and theyoung people of the McTAGGART IRISH DANCERS did KeJiny SUdti>,Voublz 3i,Q Stzpi., 2'hand ReeX6, and SLLp J-lgi.The women of the KHADRA ENSEMBLE glided along the floorwith-out a bounce in long flowing gowns which hid their feet and gavethe impression they were floating on air. The Lzzghlnka, amen's competition dance performed on toe, represented greatfootwork and strength.

The KOPACHKA girls planted Byelorussian "Batbcu," or potatoeswhich were watered and, when fully grown, bundled off to marketamidst girlish gaiety and laughter.

A heavy wooden log was tossed around by the KOPACHKA men inRoumanian costumes from the h^ajiamaneji region in the Northwestcorner of Roumania.

Marilyn Bancel presented a combination of styles from theMiddle East, known by the Arabs as "Bel.zdi", or native rhythms,and in the United States as "Belly Dancing", accompanied by theZa/Lna;an oboe-like reed instrument, the Vcuibaka; a finger drum,and the Vaval; a two-headed drum.

The Yugoslavian suite, offered by the KOPACHKA DANCERS ofMarin, included dances from three different regions of Yugoslav-

11

magnificent imported Mexican costumes, reflected the coloredlights in a myriad of patterns as they did Le. Sandunga, a typi¬cal dance of the isthmus of Tehuantepec in the state of Oaxaca,Mexico.

Next, SANDI MOREY was accompanied by GERRI SHAPIRO on therecorder as she presented several Israeli songs prior to RIKU-DOM's medley of dances choreographed by MOSHE HALEVY, who hadbeen the official choreographer for the well-known IMBAL DANCERSof Israel.

The program concluded with a German-Austrian suite offeredby the ENSEMBLE INTERNATIONAL of Sunnyvale. They did the "Holz-hackzA SdhahplaWLnA", complete with saws and axes, with woodchips flying in all directions.The happy, frivolous attitude of the dancers projected acrossthe stage to the audience and it developed into an eveningwhichwill long be remembered.Two concurrent after-parties were conducted by DEAN LINSCOTTand EDITH CUTHBERT in the school Gyms.President ERNEST DRESCHER, who acted as program coordinatorand narrator, extends the Federation's congratulations to itsexhibition groups and great performers who gave so willingly oftheir time and efforts so that we could enjoy such a pleasantevening and professional-type performance.

FOLK DANCE MANNERSby VoKothy Kvatmi

FLOOR TRAFFIC - Be aware of floor spacing at all times. If themovement of a dance is stopped because all dancers are bunchedup behind you, move along faster to keep up the flow of thedance.

AWARENESS OF OTHERS - Be aware of the dancers around you. Ifyou fling yourself about, without regard for others, you areapt to inflict injury with your elbows or heels. In order toadd more joy to the dancing, also be aware of your partner."Communicate" by catching your partner's eye. Try to smile asyou are dancing.

FORMING A CIRCLE - If you are asked to form a circle (with apartner or singly), be courteous! Don't crowd in if there isno room, but start an inner circle.FORMING "SETS" AND "SQUARES" - If a SET or SQUARE is alreadyforming, don't crowd into number one position unless invitedto so do by those who were there before you. It is customaryto go to the foot of the set, or to take whatever position isopen in a square. At parties, keep out of sets and squareswhich you do not know. One person can spoil the fun of thewhole group. This does not apply to a class situation in whichthe dance is being taught. During teaching sessions, don'ttalk, just listen!!! "Let's have just one teacher, please!"(Quote by Glen Ward)FORMING KOLO LINES - It is customary to join the line at theextreme left end. The leader will be at the extreme right end.Don't crowd into the middle, unless invited to do so. Thesecustoms are based "on simple courtesy, which no dancer wouldknowingly violate. Let's help make fun for everyone!EASY DOES IT!

This month the Kopachka Dancers of Mill Valley will celebratetheir tenth year of existence. Theirs is a success story fromstart to finish, due entirely to the hard work and dedication onthe part of the Directors, DEAN and NANCY LINSCOTT.

The Linscotts moved to the Bay Area in the Summer of 1964 sothat Dean could take a position as Assistant (now associate)pro-fessor of Microbiology at the U.C. Medical School in San Fran¬cisco. Before coming to the area they hadextensive dance experience, first as stu¬dents at U.C.L.A., then with the GandyDan-cers of L.A., if which Dean had been co-director, and also with the Cygany Dancersof San Diego. The latter two groups hadsimilar formats in that they both includedBalkan, International and exhibition danc¬ing in their activities. Dean and Nancysearched for a similar group in the BayAreabut were disappointed to find that clubs inthe area tended to be specialized. To doBalkan dances they had to join a Balkangroup; to do central European couple dancesthey would have to belong to a non-Balkangroup, while it would also be necessary tobelong to an exhibition group if they want¬ed to performforan audience.

About the time they realized they wouldhave to give up the idea of belonging to asingle "complete" group they moved toMarinCounty,settling in Mill Valley.They dancedat the Marin parties & attended Dance Coun¬cil meetings, and with the help and encour¬agement of dancers and leaders inthecountythey finally decided to start a new dance group. The word wasspread by posters in stores, newpaper publicity and word ofmouth, and in the Autumn of 1965 the first meeting was held in

A Kopachka party can attract dancersfrom such distant places as Sacramento, Stanford, San Jose, andSanta Rosa.

A success story such as this is not possible without carefulplanning, organising, hard work and enthusiasm. The Kopachkadancers are fortunate to have had the outstanding backing ofDean and Nancy Linscott who have so willingly volunteered theirtalents over the past ten years.

By Perle BleadcnTHE VIRGILEERS

On Sunday, August 31st the VIRGILEERS once again enjoyedtheir annual pot-luck and folk dance party at the lovely homeof our "Host & Hostess with the Mostest" -- TONY and JOSEPHINECIVELLO. The many dishes, including one of Josephine's Italianspecialties, were super and enjoyed be over 70 people. We werehappy to have with us both our Federation President SHEILA RUBYand her husband HENRY, and Vice-President MORRIE LECHTICK andhis wife BOBBIE. PERLE BLEADON, ED FELDMAN, and VALERIE STAIGHwere also there.

We enjoyed having LUCY HERNANDEZ to again entertain us on herguitar — with Mexican songs. Some of the folk dancers werestill dancing at 11:00 PM and one of them when leaving wasover-heard asking --"and when is your next one?".

The VIRGILEERS, who during the past years have been known fortheir outstanding parties, added another one -- and sadly theirlast one at the present location because the building will betorn down — when they celebrated their 15th anniversary Sept.16th. It was truly an outstanding evening and fitting for their"Farewell Party". ROSITA LA BELLO, who was scheduled to startrehearsals that night on a new musical in which she has thelead, came and delightfully entertained for the second time withlight opera and Philippine songs, ending with two operaticarias. CECILIA CELLES, an accomplished pianist, accompaniedthe singer. The evening also marked the 53rd wedding anniver¬sary of MR and MRS IRA WOLF. Congratulations to both of you!!!The decorations by CLAY GLADSTONE & JOE DOBIN gave an artistictouch to the celebration. Also, Josephine added her own unu¬sual touch to the refreshment table with her beautifully decor¬ated cake.

IMPORTANT!!!P1ease note!!!Our new address -- beginning Tues.evening, October 7th is -— COMMONWEALTH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL at215 S. Commonwealth Ave. We meet from 7:30 to 11:30 PM. Docome and dance with us.

SACRAMENTO COUNCIL OF FOLK DANCE CLUBSThe final report from the VILLAGE GREEN dance schedule this

summer shows that 82 dances were taught and reviewed by the tea¬chers, who were HANK & MILLIE SHONERD, LAWRENCE & VERA COULTER,CLEG & WALT BALDWIN, BRUCE & DENISE MITCHELL, and MARVIN BLAN-CHARD. There were many young people in attendance which is en¬couraging.

The Council received very good publicity on two TV stationswhen we danced on the K Street Mall on September 19th.

Twenty-Five dancers from Sacramento attended the concert inSan Mateo and many more bought tickets,

JIM & IRENE OXFORD have started a class in Square Dancingfor beginners and those who wish to review or learn basics. Itis held on Friday evenings, except the fourth Friday, in theFremont School at 24th and N Streets from 7:30 to 10:30.

At the October Council Meeting a group of eight dancers froma newly formed dance club named "WzAoly", Polish for "HappyDancers", attended en masse. This is a delightful young adultgroup from the American River College who are very good dancersand full of enthusiasm. We are looking forward to their joiningthe Sacramento Council.

EDNA MOONEY and ALICE NEEDHAM have just returned from an 18day tour of Alaska. They traveled by air to Seattle, Vancouver,Juneau, Fairbanks, and Barrow, which is as far north as you canget, and they visited the Navy weather bureau there. FromSkagway they took the inside passage to Vancouver.

DOROTHY & MORRIS JEkOME spent the month of October touringSpain and Portugal.

PETALUJVIA INTERNATIONAL FOLK DANCERS were pleased with theattendance at their second Saturday October Party in their newPetaluma facility — just off Highway 101 to the west on Wash¬ington at Kenilworth school. INO MONTI and EDITH TAKARA werethe usual superb hostesses - yummy food and spool<y decorations;and those who came in pre-Halloween costumes added much to thegaiety.

Plans are being made for the second annual NEW YEAR'S EVEDINNER DANCE in Sonoma for area club members and guests. Theprice of admission barely covers the cost; it is not a fund¬raiser but just for fun. Much planning is necessary for such aparty but those dancers in the land of the Valley of the Moonknow how to get things done!

DEE ROSSI and WENDALL SCHAAL and a few other dancers fromthis area spent the October 18 and 19 weekend with dancers inthe north Redwood country, sharing a workshop and party withthe class of KA7 MANNIX, a former dancer in our Redwood Councilarea. Dee has resumed her classes with Santa Rosa RecreationDepartment on Steele Lane in Santa Rosa.

HELEN HUGGINS will hostess the November 1 party of the VALLEYOF THE MOON FOLK DANCERS at Vineburg, with the exciting WESTERNtheme; jeans and bandanas and cowboy and squaredance costumesare always easy to put together and fun to wear. The decora¬tions are always interesting and the food can be a mystery--maybe even bacon and eggs?

The third Tuesday NAPA club's party at Kennedy Park will bethe annual THANKSGIVING theme; the decorations are always unusu¬ally nice and the turkey feed is always superb. This partyshould never be missed. Those Napa dancers really know how toget us in the spirit of Thanksgiving and the coming year-endHoliday Season.

THE MARIN DANCE COUNCIL annual campout took place this yearat Blue Lakes. About 40 people were in attendance, and thanksto BILL and ANN D'ALVY, there was outside dancing. During thequieter moments the more avid fishermen cast a line or two, butas one man put it, "It was good fishing -- the catch wasn't sogood!".

Hope you caught the Federation Concert in San Mateo lastSeptember. A fine presentation, with President ERNEST DRESCHERhumorously dealing with the flaws. Marin County was well repre¬sented by about 40 Kopachka singers, dancers, and musicians.

THE KOPACHKA DANCERS were recently treated to an outstandingsession in Bcaqaz dance and styling, instructed by ROO LESTERof LA. Roo spent time in a Spanish Basque area, studying dancewith several groups and various people, and had films and post¬card pictures of dances and costumes for those participating inthe session.

THE HARDLY ABLES CLUB had their 20th annual holiday get-to¬gether on Labor Day weekend. FRANK KANE led the "sing-along"around the midnight fire and the MELVILLE Twins spun some eerieghost stories. It was a real reunion with Frank Kane's daughterCHRIS, the Douglas' sons ANDY & PAT, and Edna Pixley's daughterSHANNON and her husband in the gathering once again. The LUBER-SKYS stopped by, too, on their way to Canada.

The Kopachkas invite one and all to join in their lOth anni¬versary celebrations. The ball will be set rolling with DEAN &NANCY LINSCOTT teaching an institute at Park School in Mill Val¬ley on November 8th fron 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. The dances to betaught will be Tfiopanka, JaafileXa, Va Abmd, lnnhQAA.e.di>polM, andCa/an Polka. Cost is $1.50. The evening program (also at ParkSchool) will start at 8:00 PM, and continue till 1:00 AM, withlive music and lots of goodies. Remember the date - November8th.

Members of the Marin Dance Council wish all their dancingfriends a Happy Thanksgiving.
