Introduction

I was a folk dancer in California and I used to teach Greek dances.

What culture/language are you interested in learning more about or what cultural events would you like to attend?

I like very mixed Balkan dances

  • I love this idea, though I live a bit far in Olympia..but would be very excited to come. When I lived in Berekey in the 60's there was a wonderful dance place (Ashkenaz) which had a different kind of ethnic dance 2-3 times a week. The format was similar to what you propose. Teaching first then free dancing. Finding the Greek, Balkan or Israeli great dancers/teachers would be the challenge.

  • Oh no, I am so bummed. I have a writer's meetup at 4pm on Sundays and dance each Sunday night in Burien :-( Let me know if you ever schedule a day other than Sunday :-)

  • No, there's no dancing at Sarajevo Lounge - at least not the kind you're talking about. On the weekends, it turns into a dance club for the Euros...It's more like Euro pop/disco I'd imagine.

  • Hi Fred,
    Thanks. I hope my new new knee will work out as well as my "old" new knee!! Is your Sunday dance going to be monthly, do you think??
