Hi Everyone,
Lea Muşat Armîna - Russ brought this dance up. Here is a little bit about this dance from Andrew Carnie's Folk Dance
Instructions folkdancemusings.blogspot.com. From Andrew's website you'll see dance notes, links and a video of Nico Hilferink demonstrating this dance, and others, he presented at the 1988 Stockton Folk Dance Camp.
Oj Devojče - another Russ dance memory :-) Again, Andrew Carnie's website has, Dance notes, but no video.
Here is video of the dance, Oj Devojče. It has poor quality sound, but the steps are clear, perhaps not exactly like the dance notes?
From Andrew Carnie's dance notes - Part 2 (Instrumental):
Bar 1: Step R to R (S). Čukče on R, while lifting L in front of R (Q). Step on L across over R (Q).
Bar 2: Still moving in LOD and facing slightly R of center, step R to R, pushing L forward low (S). Čukče on R,
while bringing L up and back (Bicycling) (ah). Lower on R, continuing bicycle motion of L (QQ).
Bar 3: Čukče on R, while swinging L up and around (S). Put L behind R ankle (QQ).
Bar 4: Step L back with a bent knee (S), Lift R, straightening L knee (QQ).
