Remembering Bruce Mitchell

A person of many talents and friend to all, Bruce passed away in October of 2021. In addition to being Director of Folk Dance Camp for 25 years, Bruce influenced folk dancing across the country as a member and former President of the National Folk Organization, former President of the Folk Dance Federation of California, North, and a driving and unifying force in the Sacramento, California Area, where he managed classes and festivals.

Below you will find links to articles and sites that have graciously shared what they’ve written about Bruce. We will be adding additional information over the next few months and at our July 2022 in-person camp, come together and share more memories about our friend Bruce.

If you would like to share a memory, photo or video, we would be honored to post them on our page. Please email anything you would like to share to bruce.sfdc@gmail.com.
