The scene above and to the far left are from Folkdance Fridays usual dance melded together with a few dances taught by Edwidge. Above, Russ and Jackie Z are dancing Circle Csardas (Kor Csardas) - a traditional Hungarian folk dance, the name derived from csárda (old Hungarian term for tavern).
The dance to the immediate left is Od lo Ahavti di, Isralie – means: "I haven't Yet Loved" The Refrain:My love is incomplete.
But the wind and the sun are still on my face.
My words are incomplete
Oh when shall they come together?

So ended our first night in Calgary



After a long day of learning dances from Edwidge we went to the Istanbul Cafe for dinner. Out of the blue a belly dancer came to our table and just happened to invite Russ to dance with her.

They had just danced "Vidinsko Horo" a Vlach dance from NW Bulgaria - An Incredible dance! Music from: Bulgarian Folk Dances with Yves Moreau - Vol 4 Introduced by Yves Moreau. Julie Delarue leading. (Didn't get beginning and an abrupt ending when battery died.)
Edwidge was kind enough to perform Cimpoi for my Video camera. The music is from: Gypsy Camp (Jocuri Populare Rominesti) Volume 1

After the warm ups, we learned two more dances: Agir Halay from Turkey, and Jocul Zestrei from Romania

This workshop was an inspiration to all of us.
