Date: Sun, 6 Mar 2005 Subject: Dances of March 5, 2005 From: Cris Hello everyone, Dances from March 5, 2005 Salvation Army Gymnasium, 710pm Bearing little if any resemblance to the order danced. I'm sure I missed a few too. I arrived without a notepad. Almost every dance in this first group was taught, at least briefly. 1. Vranjanka Serbia 2. Robin Ddiog Wales 3. An dro Retourne Brittany 4. Jiana Romania 5. Rumelaj Gypsy special thanks to Missy for providing great bellydance styling tips 6. Tamzara Armenia 7. Ali Pasa Turkey 8. Mayim Israel please, please, PLEASE let it rain in Montana 9. Bojarka / Biserka Serbia 10. Srbijanka Serbia 11. Juice of Barley English Country 12. Ma Navu Israel 13. Well Hall English Country 14. Erev Ba Israel both versions 15. Ada's Kujawiak #1 Poland 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 16 dancers: Connie Cris Deanna Don Ed Jackie Z Joe Lauren Lita Marvin Missy Rose Russ Sam Ted 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.
