Just a reminder that I'll be teaching dances for the Bash tonight at the Avalon in Sodal Hall. In the Beginners class at 6:30 we'll learn Syrto, a basic Cocek and Gankino/Kopanitsa, and review Lesno, Pravo and Ramo Ramo. At 7:30 we'll learn three more easy
Coceks (there will be a lot of them tomorrow night)- Niski, Vranski and Zurla - , and review Yambolskata and Ciganskoto horo, which was taught some years ago by Maureen. If there's time Bob will show us a specific Chetvorno.
Tomorrow night for the potluck I'll be bringing dolmas and a little baba ganoush and a spicy muhamara to go on them.
See you there!
