February 23, 2026, Playlist, High Green Mountain (Aboriginal Taiwan) - March Schedule

[katia mucha]

Hi dancers,

To celebrate the Chinese New Year of the Fire Horse, Monday dancers enjoyed High Green Mountain, a dance arranged by France Bourque-Moreau using aboriginal Taiwanese steps. France can be seen teaching in a video at Folk Dance Musings.

For this rare Fire Horse year, it was Horsey, Horsey or Palais Glide, a 1928 ballroom dance popular in England and France. Here is a 1938 video when Horsey Horsey was a "New Dance for Everybody."  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyp4ZlQoVS8&t=8s   

And you can practice your French with "Cheval, cheval, ne t'arretes pas" (Horsey, Horsey, Don't Stop)  with this charming children's video version of the music with lyrics.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC0a0zKezng  

Happy Birthday to Pat L on her 90th birthday!  Best wishes from all of us!
