Hi dancers, In June we're featuring dances that Tom performed on Zoom for Ethnic Dance Chicago's Virtual Dance Room (EDC-VDR).  We featured this dance as a bonus on March 23, 2020, when we sent out our very first Monday Video dance, so this dance is a repeat.  Tom presented Dado La Dado on Zoom on May 15, 2021.
