David Vinski has been dancing since 1956 when he first learned Malo kolo in a class at his local Croatian Fraternal Union lodge in Pittsburgh. This early interest in his heritage led to a scholarship performing with the Duquesne University Tamburitzans. David eventually discovered International Folk Dance. He has been on the staff of International Folk Dance Camp, Kentucky Dance Institute, Pinewoods Dance Camp and Mainewoods Dance Camp (formerly Maine Folk Dance Camp).
Orkestar Bez Ime, meaning "orchestra without a name" in Bulgarian, was formed in 2002 to bring Balkan dance music to the Upper Midwest. Since then OBI has performed at many local Twin Cities venues and has toured in North Dakota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Alabama, and Pennsylvania to critical acclaim. Founding members Colleen Bertsch, Dee Langley, Katrina Mundinger, and Natalie Nowytski recently welcomed new Rogarians Scott Keever and Matt Miller to the country.
Clear Lake Camp & Conference Center is part of Battle Creek Outdoor Education Center, and is located 17 miles north of Battle Creek. The175 acre facility is situated on ClearLake in a stand of very large trees with a swimming beach, canoes, and rowboats. The historic Kellog Lodge was built in 1935 and houses dancing and dining areas. Sleeping arrangements are dormitory-style in two buildings across a small parking lot from the Kellog Lodge, with a variety of room sizes sharing common facilities. The camp has a reputation for excellent food served family style.
