June 2, 2025, Playlist - Siroon Gakav (Armenian). And a history lesson on Repeat Day

[katia mucha]

Hi, dancers,

Thanks to Zoom, Tom discovered another Armenian dance for 

our group, Beautiful Partridge, Siroon Gakav, a traditional "dance song" 

or bariyerker. It is a love song, but the pretty partridge escapes and falls into 

the sea. This dance is slow and easy to follow.  

Today, June 3, is National Repeat Day (origin unknown), and because our 

country seems to repeating the steps that led to fascism in Europe, this might be a 

good time to repeat a history lesson by viewing The Story of Fascism in Europe.  

It contains a lot of original footage and was made by Rick Steves, the PBS travel 

guide. Perhaps you'll even want a repeat viewing.
