I love dancing at Liberty Pub. There's something about the combination of good food & drink, the fine company of friendly dancers, and dancing to lively music that fills my heart with so much joy.
This week, dancers in my class teamed up with two dancers from the Florence international folk dance group and the local band Cultural Ecology to present a demonstration of dances from around the world. We presented the following dances:
Hora Mare Bucovineana - Romania
Tzadik Katamar - Israel
Dashing White Sergeants - Scotland
Godecki Cacek - Bulgaria
Miserlou - Greek American
Chilili - Bolivia
Then we invited people from the audience to join us. I didn't know the dance floor at Liberty Pub could accommodate up to 20 dancers! We had LOTS of audience members come up and learn these beginning level dances:
Savila Se Bela Losa - Serbia
Zemer Atik - Israel
Sasha - Russia
Hora pe Gheata
La Bastringue - French Canadian
Waves - Hong Kong
The audience members were great sports! They were willing to step out of their comfort zone and try a new kind of dancing. The dancers in my class were fabulous - they introduced the demonstration dances, they welcomed the audience members and really took great care of them.
The evening was a fund raiser for South Coast Folk Week, a week-long celebration of traditional music, song and dance set for October 4-10, 2015 in Coos Bay. I don't think I can move my class to the pub on a regular basis, but I can't wait until the next time we dance in the pub!
