Hi, dancers, Our category for May 10, 2021 is international folk dancing. Answer: A dance from this country inspired the creation of Bufčansko. Question:  What is Greece?  Macedonian women saw Greek soldiers dancing and created Bufčansko, a dance that is similar to the Greek dances, Miserlu and Kritikos Syrtos. Bufčansko is a dance we do often and enjoy.  (Step back with your left foot only.)   Bufčansko   Macedonia  https://folkdancemusings.blogspot.com/2014/04/bufcansko-macedonia.html In the 2004 Folk Dance Problem Solver, Ron Houston writes that Bufčansko was created in the early 1900s by Macedonian women living in Buf, a village in Aegean Macedonia in the Lerin region near the city of Bitola. They had seen Kritikos being danced by  Greek soldiers stationed in the village, and that dance inspired Bufčansko. Some accounts say that the dance was introduced in  1964 by author and dance ethnologist Elsie Ivančić Dunin (born July 19, 1935)  Biography: https://www.elonka.com/public/familytree/ElsieIvancichDunin.html  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsie_Ivancich_Dunin Also by Dennis Boxell (1940 -September 09, 2010)  https://socalfolkdance.org/master_teachers/boxell_d.htm Dennis learned the dance from Atanas  Kolarovski. https://www.sfdh.us/encyclopedia/kolarovski_a.html Please contact us, but use only these addresses:   katiamu...@yahoo.com To contact Tom:  tsw...@aol.com To contact Rick:  rick...@gmail.com A reminder from your dance club: Sadly, replying to this email address will not  work because it's only for outgoing messages.            However, IFDCD members can communicate  with the membership group by using this address: international-folk-dance...@googlegroups.com   (You have to be on the list to receive messages.)
