Performing groups from China, Chi-na, France, Italy, Ireland, Mexico, Mexi-co, Poland and the United States are meeting together in Springville Spring-ville this week, July 11 through July 20, for the 1992 festival. Fritz Boyer, Springville World Folkfest director-chairman, said the performances alone provide the audience with a little bit of an education of what life is like in other countries. "The dances themselves and costumes are authentic... the dances are representative repre-sentative of their culture and have been around for a long time." Not only can the audiences learn about other countries by viewing the performances, but they can learn about other countries coun-tries by participating. There will be a street dance tonight, Wednesday, July 15, where the dance groups will demonstrate dance steps and invite people to learn their dances. danc-es. Boyer said this gives the people an opportunity to meet with the dancers one on one. Food booths will also be on hand at the street dance. Although the food will not actually be prepared by people from different countries, there will be a variety of ethnic foods available. The Folkfest also gives people an opportunity to see the kinds of goods available in other countries. coun-tries. Because the foreign groups participating in the Folkfest pay their own way to get to the United Unit-ed States, they will bring goods from their countries to sell at the Folkfest as souvenirs. Boyer said it will be an educational educa-tional experience to see the products prod-ucts from other countries. "The dancers bring things that they find interesting and feel will be of value to us." One thing that people will learn who attend the Folkfest is that the dancers themselves are educated, influential and high-ranking high-ranking people. Boyer said those attending the Folkfest sometimes underestimate the level of educa tion these dancers have because they speak a different language and have a different way of life. The dancers participating in the Folkfest are living with Springville families during the week of the festival. "The families fami-lies become really involved," said Colleen Drollinger, Springville Folkfest housingoffice director. The host families pay-not only to house the dancers, but to feed them and entertain them. Drollinger said some families save their vacation money and house the dancers for a week rather than go somewhere themselves. them-selves. Some families even learn a little of the dancer's native language. Although there are language and cultural differences, the host families have learned there are more similarities than differences among cultures in the world, Boyer said. People attending the Springville Spring-ville World Folkfest will not only "Meet the World in Springville," but, learn about the world in Springville.
