This folk dance teacher list of more than 600 Master Teachers is not comprehensive.
It is compiled from what information could be conveniently gathered.
Its intent is to be a historical record of the biographies of Master Teachers who paved the way,
as well as those who are currently active.
The criterion for being in this list is that the teacher has taught outside of his or her local group.
In other words, has taught at camps, conferences, institutes, festivals, seminars, or workshops.


Federation Master Teacher Scheduling

If you would like to host a master teacher at your club, please contact Jay Michtom with the date you would like to have a workshop. (To avoid double-booking, do not contact the teacher directly until Jay lets you know that the date is available.) Jay will create a schedule and communicate it to the club and the teacher.

The club then contacts the teacher to arrange time and place, perhaps discuss specific dances, agree on fee, and possibly help with transportation and lodging. (The committee will do none of these things.)

After the workshop, the club notifies Jay that the workshop has been done and the fee paid to the teacher. Jay then arranges for reimbursement to the Federation club.

While non-Federation clubs may be scheduled, they will not qualify for any Federation fee reimbursement.

Please contact Jay with your requests for workshops, or any questions.
Jay Michtom, Chair – 818-368-1957 – Email.
