Hi, dancers,
On Monday, Tom scheduled four dances that he had seen on Judy Silver's Sunday
online dance. A dancer who had also watched Judy came in with a request list of
those already scheduled dances!
One of them, Fatise Kolo, the Dick Crum version, is our featured dance.
The title translates as "Started or joined the dance." And Vranje, mentioned
in the lyrics, is a city in Southern Serbia.
Experienced dancers may forget that this is a tricky dance.
It's 9/8 rhythm is 1-2, 1-2, 1-2-3, 1-2, or Quick, Quick, Slow, Quick.
(Do you remember the first time you danced it?)
The girls from Vranje started circle dance.

At the head of the circle is the damzel tasa
Damzel Taša our beauty.
