Hello everyone,

We pulled out the following dances that were featured last weekend at Steam and Stomp:

16. Podrimsko Oro Albania  taught at SandS by Susan and Richard, this dance has separate men's and women's lines.
	We remembered it remarkably well!  Danced twice.

17. Cobankat Albania?  from the same workshop as Podrimsko Oro, this was taught just before lunch on Sunday at SandS.
        Beautiful music, but nobody in the group remembered any of it.  So, to the syllabus for next week!

18. At Adama Israel  taught at SandS by Eva.  We had a lot of holes in our collective memory.
	Furrowed brows. "Something goes here... but what?"  Once we finally remembered the "pigeon, duck, pigeon" stamps,
        we went back and tried again, though holes remain.

19. Duke of Kent's Waltz England  taught by Mitchell at S and S, this is an old favorite that we were inspired to revive.

Marvin brought us a rather sophisticated dance from his Whitehall trip.
20. Bees of Maggieknockater 	Scotland
        Marvin took the time to run an intensive, wellexecuted intro to this very impressive Scottish Country dance.
        Unfortunately, we didn't have the music!  But in silence, four couples executed a good firsttime run through.
	This will be fun to work on when we get the music together.  Think Fife Ness meets Mairi's Wedding, turned inside out and with 
        nobody sitting out.

21. Heya Heya Modern Israeli, couples version  We've had several requests for a refresher on this one, but ran out of time this
        week.  We'll plan a refresher on March 12.

22. Birchot Havdalah Modern Israeli

Welcome Ronda Ronda doesn't have an h in her name to her first International Folk Dance.  Ronda works with Joe at Marion school.
Plus a guest appearance on Duke of Kent by Jazzmine Jazzmin is spelled with 2 z's, and no s, a student at Marion whose aunt was cleaning the
building.

Next dance: Saturday March 12, at the Salvation Army Gym.
