DANCE REQUESTS FOR 2015 PRESIDENTS' WEEKEND WORKSHOP (PPW)

I assembled these videos so people could brush up on dances they already know or pick out

ones they want to learn for the workshop. But I hope it will also be useful for people to

practice dances at home that are being taught in your group at other times. So you might

announce to your group that the compilation exists. Special thanks to Aelita J Pinter for a

few extra videos and various corrections and information.

John Ward

Friday Night Requests

Above the Rainbow, Different dances are done to this. None on Youtube matches ours, but here's the music in case your memory needs jogging--or jigging: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWfS3HqG-98&list=PLrgJ8hA48Zxex4OeqT1dMiZYth0a4uF12

Adama Veshamayim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijKJV-ArTR4 Individual Israeli dance. Here's another

video, multiple dancers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWRHePuRCd0

Alunelul ca la Cirna https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vspUTpBz7SQ Romanian line, moderately difficult.

Alexandru David teaching.

Arnautsko Horo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICWAU0HbBrQ moderately easy, slow Macedonian line,

choreographed by Yves Moreau.

turns, taught at the 2009 PPW by Roo Lester.

Briul Pe Opt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ti151UcUyk fast, energetic Romanian line, a Mihai David dance.

Ca La Mahala https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvvYLOyOT3g Romanian line, taught by Mihai at 2014

PPW. Poor dancers on only online video. The line gets joined after awhile by some that know it, but they are

partially obscured until the second half of the tape.

Cetvorno Horo – Shopso https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4Bm9A1OAEo Bulgarian line dance,

somewhat difficult, five parts.

Cervorno Horo – Ripna Maca https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12J0_8qn7Lw Bulgarian line. Here's

another. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BJpeW-YlUM I don't believe it's really a kind of Cetvorno and

can't find any evidence for that on You Tube. ? There's also a Serbian dance by that name, but this is the one I

know.

Chilili (partner) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm5QZoGDzpw Bolivian-Peruvian dance in facing lines.

Dado la Dado http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Cniprv-gsM easy Romanian line dance

Daichovo Horo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEhzgtHM6W0 Bulgarian dance with calls and response;

we have done it a little; remembering the responses and which calls go with which footwork is the tricky part;

on the video it's hard to hear the calls. Here's Bulgarians doing it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZzMB6rgwC0 But perhaps the version requested was the one taught by

Jim Gold without calls for the 2004 PPW (no You Tube video). (is it?)

De a Lungul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-e6rTfuUTk (Romanian slow couple dance; blurry

monochrome video, but not hard to see the movements; rather complex. Below is a video link of Romanian

dancers, a bit less precise in following the music because they are deaf. They follow the dance with Invertita:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwbxcZwUTx4

Dobrudjanska Reka http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcHqsqVDyXE Bulgarian women's line dance; Taught

by Yuliyan Yordanov at 2013 PPW; medium difficult. According to Dick Oakes, Yves Moreau found that a

Dobrudžan men’s complimented this women’s dance performed on stage in Bulgaria, and Andy Pollock has

done it at PPW

Dospatsko Horo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbThQCWvtdU (Bulgarian, one of ours; moderately

easy.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_rdsmPBrUE (Another video of it, better lighting, but it starts in

the middle of the dance, and a hand-held camera)

Doublebska Polka (mixer) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vffEuIGNsiQ This video is how we do it (not

often), except that extra women can get in to get a partner when the women start circling. Women can also

slow down and speed up according to what partner they want next. If you don't get a partner, look for extra

partners in the center.

Drjanovska Racenica 1. Bulgarian; I'm not sure what this is; here's the only You Tube one by that name.

Drjanovska Racenica 2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HLZ58sE0Mw (Bulgarian; Yves Moreau dance;

Linda and I lead it) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efFAHnwXpE8 (another video of it)

Drmes Iz Zdencine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNeghHNYVGw Croatian circle dance, a little bit hard;

can (should!) get fast.

Erev Ba http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ILTiQWPHrs Israeli circle. The tempo of the tape is faster than we

do it.

Floricica Olteneasca Floricica Olteneasca http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp6pb_klRyw difficult, physical

line Romanian dance; (a Mihai dance, led by him); More videos of it below:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITfFYnAPPBs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h13_GyvALJo

Gavotte D’Honneur, Breton dance. The dance we do is a line dance, but all of those on You Tube are couple

dances with different music. Here's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4kS7aSOMFo

Gorarche http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG7OEMMQiK8 Albanian; three parts, a Steve Kotansky dance;

here are instructions: http://ww w.folkdance.com/LDNotations/Gorarce2000LD.pdf

Page 3: DANCE REQUESTS FOR 2015 PRESIDENTS' WEEKEND …€¦ · DANCE REQUESTS FOR 2015 PRESIDENTS' WEEKEND WORKSHOP (PPW) I assembled these videos so people could brush up on dances they

Hambo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCsTS5GDkvE Swedish couple dance; men and women's steps are out of phase with each other, which makes it especially tricky to learn. Another video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNLdp-yD2mw

Hora Anton Pann http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wKVgs_rXsI Romanian line dance; fairly slow. And

another video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMz78XpZvrk

Hora lui Chisar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9qGYDrkwfk Romanian line dance.

Hora Mamtera https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4Y5uIv9xqg Two videos, one a line dance, the other

individual dancers, followed by Haroah Haktana, which in this video it closely resembles:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMOEWcM-_Ps

Hora Spoitorilor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sPhldO1RP8 Romanian line dance, (Mihai's)

choreographed for two lines here and slightly different in steps and styling than the Gainesville group does it,

but in the ballpark.

Horehronsky Csardas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r0OPrquGpA Hungarian line; fairly easy to follow,

but faster at the end. Another video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiBJ3a9RGN4

Indiski Kocek http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9VEnQ7Qc4w Macedonian gypsy line; It's a Kotansky

dance, but I'm not sure how close this version, with somewhat different music, is to his, which I haven't done.

My guess is that it's close enough that you could follow him if you learned this one. Easy steps, but practice

the hips. It helps to double click to enlarge because the black outfits make it hard to see the small movements.

Iste Hendek https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUwgPcyEBAM Easy Turkish line dance.

Joc Batrinesc din Niculitel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d255-FAvgq0 (Romanian line dance, moderately easy, fairly slow. Another video of it; slight differences in steps and one repeats the first part, the other doesn't: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLkdRZZS_rE)

Jovano Jovanke http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uenUVPrqA2s Macedonian line dance. For part 2, watch the woman in the purple skirt and white blouse. She does the leg cross as I learned it. We do it, but not often. I know a version with separate lines of men and women and slower, more soulful music.

Kali Tihi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taKihsAlZmY (Greek; Lee Otterholt teaches the dance; Basic step

done at 0:40--follow the woman with the blue shirt). The following video shows clips of people doing the

dance [off and on after 0:31]) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZAwDwF_jy0

Kapura, Slovalkian, individual, no You Tube video; taught by Jim Gold at 2004 PPW.

Karamfil http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9DbLgoGMJQ Bulgarian line; easy.

Katerino Mome (Ventzis Arap), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTV_jn9UnWM easy Bulgarian line

dance.

Kyustendilska Rucenitsa all videos by that name are of a somewhat different dance than I learned. Bulgarian

line, moderately difficult and fast (depending on the music). The following link is the closest to what we do:

the first half of the repeated dance steps is very close, but the second is very different.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0rYZGOl-oM

Korobushka http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je7HED9eZeA Russian, lively; couples in a circle; remember

to change partner.

Page 4: DANCE REQUESTS FOR 2015 PRESIDENTS' WEEKEND …€¦ · DANCE REQUESTS FOR 2015 PRESIDENTS' WEEKEND WORKSHOP (PPW) I assembled these videos so people could brush up on dances they

Kreuz Koenig http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7CbX73C8XM German 2-couple set dance; hard to pick up without a group that knows what it's doing. This version has all of the details the way I know it.

Krivata https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTlbFoWFw84 Bulgarian line dance.

Kruchmarsko http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpgihQOyjyI Bulgarian line dance; not too hard.

Le Laride; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zjg4N-WpiM open circle dance from Brittany; simple dance, easy to follow.

Malhao (partner) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJBn_DpTz3g Portuguese dance, taught by Andrea

Taylor-Blenis, who taught it to us, PPW 2012.

Mavromata, easy Greek open circle dance taught by Lee Otterholt. no video on You Tube, instructions on p.

93 of this syllabus: http://www.folkdance.org/old_syllabus/fdc2006.pdf

Menim Balam, "My Baby" Azerbaijani women’s dance, line or circle; a lullaby. No video. Here are directions:

http://evansvillefolkdancers.com/resources/Notes/M/Menim%20Balam%20DN.pdf

Misirlou, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8Ka1yu_bX4 easy Greek dance. Surprising that there are so

few videos of it, maybe because it's so well known, but none do the variations we do.

Myatalo Lenche http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYz157PzPcU, I don't know if this is the right dance, and the camerawork is terrible for seeing the footwork, although toward the end you get to see some feet; it's a Bulgarian lively line dance.

Olahos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4rdLmfKcig Hungarian individual dance ; energetic.

Ooska Gookas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8rX_KRG1-A; Armenian line, fairly slow and easy.

Opinca https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouhN2dN5FDc Romania line dance we do regularly--the one with

the "mamaliga" call; fairly slow but complex.

Orijent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ma9CzzzT_Gg Serbian line led by a 95-year old lady in video.

Paharelul; Romanian, no video. Rhythm is a little tricky, but not difficult. Some leaps. A Mihai David dance .

Instructions: http://www.phantomranch.net/folkdanc/dances/paharelu.htm

Paraliakos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_m7sYg2Uog easy Greek; Lee Otterholt on video

Populli Jon, Albanian, I think. no dance on You Tube; here's music by that name, and pictures:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJqXTB5B_Ms

Poslushaitte Patrioti, Macedonian line, no dance on You Tube; taught by Jim Gold at 2005 PPW; here's the

music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WzBwXvhomo

Postie’s Jig https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jIadq4M6xk (with broom) set dance; Scottish, I think.

Without broom still tricky to learn from video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3stc0bK-9xM

Preskacanka, Bulgarian, no dance video; here's music video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrGtKVsBRaw

Radomirsko Horo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqLiazeV6TI no video of dancers, only the music; taught by Jim Gold at 2004 PPW; most experienced dancers should be able to follow.

Ravno Oro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnmWDNYaC44 Greek line (the dancers here are Serbian and

do the second half differently). Taught by Yuliyan Yordanov at 2012 camp; medium difficult.

Page 5: DANCE REQUESTS FOR 2015 PRESIDENTS' WEEKEND …€¦ · DANCE REQUESTS FOR 2015 PRESIDENTS' WEEKEND WORKSHOP (PPW) I assembled these videos so people could brush up on dances they

Rusi Kosi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUDBLY3TLz8 Bulgarian line. The Dunav dancers often have

slight variations from the way dances were taught to us, and I don't know this one, but it should be in the

ballpark.

Rustemul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3XP4-Y3A4c (Romanian line, one of Mihai's; one of ours,

lively and somewhat difficult) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ND4ePo8nn8 (another video of it)

Sandansko Horo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2mEiPvFz1Q Bulgarian line; this is the style and music I

know. Here's one with a somewhat different feel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5tSEbTsrQM

Sborinka https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95tD7uww5Sw (Bulgarian line; medium easy)

Serbes Donka, Bulgarian; no dance video; I'm pretty sure this is the right music:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49fErfk_fmE

Sheyavo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsncTOFzkDc Israeli couple; here's a teaching video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYFl9fd5-3s; and one for good luck:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6_YS6Y2pmc

Shrewsbury Lasses (set) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1qy7jW-JSs English country dance that you

could actually learn from this video! Here's a group doing it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFD2EaNb7Vg

Siriul Buzau https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfeLPAsRjq4 Romanian line dance; easy to follow, slow,

good video.

Siriysko Horo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LF8GT2g5is Taught by Yuliyan Yordanov at 2013 PPW; botches the tricky part.

Sitna Zborenka https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLfbO6Ula-A Bulgarian line moderately easy. This video

has the best styling on part 4. Here's another: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3voynv0ACo

Stara Djurdjevka; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXP4hETAA54 easy Serbian line dance taught at the 2013 PPW. Different music; same dance (stara=old).

Svatba http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8CkD0nEbs4 Lee Otterholt teaches; Bulgarian line; fairly easy,

good video. For review: fig. 1 at 2:29: (4 times); fig.2: 3:23; fig. 3: 5:36; 4th fig. 7:10; step for zurna interlude

at 8:42. Here's a Norwegian folk dance club doing the dance:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IYucZRqzQc

Syrtos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tc7juTflcwI easy Greek dance; not a good video, but y'all know

this one anyway. Leader can do fancy stuff.

Te Aven Baxtale https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnS9FNNtekY Romanian gypsy; the third step is a bit tricky; three of them and then 2 steps back. Taught by Sonia Dion and Christian Florescu at 2008 PPW. Here's another video, more cluttered, but less blurry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPeChW13OXE another video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Iomc-VoFGI

Three's a Crowd (set) no video; here are directions:

http://www.folkdance.com/LDNotations/ThreesACrowd1998LD.pdf

Tino Mori https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8N7N4kaBYk easy Macedonian line or circle.

Page 6: DANCE REQUESTS FOR 2015 PRESIDENTS' WEEKEND …€¦ · DANCE REQUESTS FOR 2015 PRESIDENTS' WEEKEND WORKSHOP (PPW) I assembled these videos so people could brush up on dances they

Trei Pazeste https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-sbm6sesl4 Romanian line, somewhat difficult because it's quick; I lead it for us. I removed the video I had in first place because it had only two of the Tcherkasia-like steps; the third was replaced by two more steps in the travel], which is confusing. This one also differs from the way I learned it ; an apart- and-together is done in place of the Tcherkasia-like in front-and-behind step I learned, but at least there are three of them.

Triti Puti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HHfqowfn54 Bulgarian line.

Tziur Chassidi; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTdTUMkeAB0 Israeli circle dance; easy.

Ya Abud https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il7M-H-N-XU Israeli dance choreographed from Jordanian Arab

music. Because it's quick and there are five or six different steps, people can stumble a bit, but it's not too

hard.

Yar Ko Parag https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs6I823kYWw Armenian circle ; Lee Otterholt leading.

Yolanda mambo line taught by Sandy Starkman at 2002 PPW

Zwiefacher, Schneider

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ1U6UFKKW8&list=PLnvpn6A3GdlYl2Y1DRRMz8CWYglvpWSAG&index

=6 Bavarian dance. Zwiefacher (2 dance steps mixed together) is the type of dance; Schneider is the specific

dance. This video gives the sequence of steps, P being a single step, W being a 3-step waltz combination and

the number meaning the times repeated. However, dance sequence should read (PPW PPWW)2 (PPWP

PPWW)2--or, as written under the dancers, which I find much harder to follow-- (2PW 2P2W)x2 (2PWP

2P2W)x2--that is, in the second part, instead of 4 PPWW's, PPWP should alternate with PPWW. Notice that

the opening page spells the dance Zweifacher; that's the standard German, but the Bavarian spelling is written

below and pronounced Tsvee-fah-kher.

Zensko Camce https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wTDCS7SLt0 Macedonian woman's line This is a 3-

dance performance; Zensko Camce follows Dajcovo Horo This is a more drawn out version, gradually speeding

up over nearly six minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4PZIoTAi5w&spfreload=1. Steve Kotansky

has taught this dance.

Saturday Night Requests

Agadelcha, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn9JLW_WeD4 , created in 1979 as Yemenite man prayer

dance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbwKIbW9HUk

Aj Lipo Ti Je http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvsUg-OGDk4 Taught by Zeljko Jergan at 2010 PPW. From Baranja, Hungary, across the river from Baraja Croatia; easy, slow; led from behind.

An Dro Retourné http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrKnL0r-AzA easy French line or circle, taught by France Moreau at 1999 PPW.

Arnold's Circle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUvXFGo8cN8 change partner circle dance; a little complex, but with some effort you should be able to sort it out.

Batraneasca de la Arbore, Romanian line, no video, taught by Yves Moreau at 2009 PPW.

Beleilot Hakayits http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDw2Bo7aS2A Israeli, medium difficult--and not so easy to learn from the video.

Berovka http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3V-7bRMDnQ Macedonian, medium difficult.

Another video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxfYPbROYqQ

Bourree d’Oulches https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLXMnmiXePg French two couple dance, not difficult.

Briul de la Fagaras, no video, no instructions. Romanian individual dance, learned from Mihai. Strenuous. This

is the music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4nFgR_X02E

Bucimis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5SJTUJCMp8 Bulgarian line with a tricky reel-stamp 5th step.

Cano; no video, Turkish woman's dance; line or circle taught by Ercüment Kiliç at 2013 camp; easy; directions: http://evansvillefolkdancers.com/resources/Notes/C/Cano%20DN.pdf Cekurjankino Horo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFaNnVvov_o Bulgarian line; fairly difficult.

Chef http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbZfd-6qzaM advanced, with leg slaps and stamps, Romanian--Gypsy? A Japanese solo!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki058w-m3_0 ; it's possible to learn with some effort--certainly worthy of an attempt!

Cinino Kolo, no video or information. I'm guessing that this should be Cicino Kolo, Serbian line, taught by Bata

Marcetic at 2013 PPW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZU14j52AS0 (the video has a few differences in

the steps, but similar). ??

o an at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie4eZ0zzE70 Albanian line; slow enough to follow.

Dana http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4HM_SeT6dM (Romanian, taught by Sonia Dion and Christian Florescu at 2008 PPW dance camp ; no hands, moderate difficulty)

David Melech Israel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsLREfpCg0I Israeli line, slow, easy to follow, good

video.

Davorike Dajke https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcStv5-Qbbc ; Serbian; taught by Sandy Starkman at 2002 PPW dance camp; poor video, but easy and slow enough to follow.

Delcevsko Horo, Macedonian line, I think I know this one from way back, but no video or information. ?

Drmes iz Marijanaca: Croatian circle dance; no video; a Zeljko Jergan dance with a steady, lively, rhythm, but there's no further information on the web.

Esmer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln5LcEcA94Y (Turkish line, easy; no Youtube video; taught by Ercüment Kiliç at 2013 PPW dance camp)

Gergebunarsko Horo no information

Gocino Kolo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMJ8vFe_N0Y, this may be the music or not, but American folk dancers do a more complex dance (which I don't know): http://www.yumpu.com/it/document/view/20995500/gocino-kolo-folk-dance-federation-of-california

Harmonica http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fnknpBktkM Israeli circle ; we do a back-handed slap not

seen here; easy dance, video less than good.

Hasapiko http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAwLS-1ofFM (Greek line, moderately easy; leader calls changes. None of videos matches the way we do it, but we could use some of the variations.)

Not too difficult for a set dance, but not easy to learn from written directions--which is all we used to have when I started dancing--no videos

Hey Vala, Armenian dance, no further information.

Hora Nuntasilor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32w9NpOkEYg Romanian; Fairly quick, not too hard; easy to see what's done in video.

Hora Veche http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6z0G9W9sgZo Romanian; slow enough to folow.

Sto Mi E Milo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQVeIXqyFx0 fairly slow, easy Bulgarian led by Jim Gold.

Levi Jackson Rag http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybeLwl1Vj3c five-couple set dance, fun if you can manage it. The video explains and demonstrates it very well.

Made in Romania http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuGGwOdbrr0 Romanian; individual dancers; blurry and foreground figures cut off, but better than this one where the dancers are harder to keep track of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0_kEPL7xz8; relatively easy.

Mairi's Wedding http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRpLfLurI5s Scottish set dance: very complex.

Page 9: DANCE REQUESTS FOR 2015 PRESIDENTS' WEEKEND …€¦ · DANCE REQUESTS FOR 2015 PRESIDENTS' WEEKEND WORKSHOP (PPW) I assembled these videos so people could brush up on dances they

Melnik: easy Bulgarian line. The name of the dance is the smallest town in Bulgaria; there is no video of, or

directions to, the dance on line. The music in this link is very similar to the pace and mood and resembles the

melody of the dance, so you can at least get an idea of what the dance is like: in a minor key, sad in feeling,

and moderately slow. That's the town of Melnik in the video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmYZnKWTMUI

Michael's Czardas; Hungarian couple dance. No video, but here's a video of a czardas; the couples begin about

3:58. Michael's steps are related, but different.

Moj Dragane http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWROJIc0ruM Croatian line dance; slow and easy; dancers appear late in video; taught at 2002 PPW dance camp by Sandy Starkman

Moja Diridika http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXd4WSE2L18 This is the version I know, A nice simple

Croatian circle dance. At 4:26 the man explains the drmes step--correctly. But when they dance it, they only

do one bounce. For a dance with many drmeses, look at this: Check the drmes from 1:33 until the end:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lQUuh1tNjM.

Murescanca, lively Romanian line; a Mihai dance on his first Gypsy Camp record; no video Here are directions

Nabrale Je http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvHu_HjtSig lively, easy Croatian circle dance.

Ne Felj Lanyum http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hVxtNUoImM Hungarian line; Steve Kotansky teaching; slow, easy; good video

Oj Dimitro Le https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9y5z-gFeAo Bulgarian line led by Lee Otterholt (there's a

video of the dance led by Yves Moreau too, but it must have been shot with a cell phone--held vertically!)

Pajdusko http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QT8-7BmOryA Macedonian or Bulgarian line. Done at parties

and weddings by just about everyone. We actually do a somewhat different dance that I can't find a video of,

and that may be the one requested. ??

Pandalas Bulgarian dance; no video by that name, but Folk Dance Notes says it's the same as Kucata, for which

there is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqWhzyYmLqY ??

Pinosavska https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmJLig9uh54 easy-to-follow Serbian line dance.

Polonez Royale (no online video that matches our choreography; taught by Richard Schmidt at 2006 camp and on that camp video; partner dance; a national dance of Poland; the following video isn't the choreography we do, but observe the style, with the foot extended before coming down on the accented first beat of each measure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3e1OH1BpjA Here is the chorography of Richard Schmidt, who taught us at PPW dance camp 2006: http://www.folkdance.com/LDNotations/PolonezRoyale2004LD.pdf ; fairly complicated)

Preumblata de femei http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkmV7MozemM nice Romanian dance; taught by Theodor (and Lia) Vasilescu at 2002 PPW; slow, picks up pace a bit towards the end but never fast, not hard.

Roata din Bihor; no video; Romanian; one of Mihai's, but I don't remember which it is. Here's the music, but not Mihai's recording.

Roata femeilor Maramures, Romanian dance, no further information, no video, but here's one of Maramures

dances https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YU6NkqFLuY

Page 10: DANCE REQUESTS FOR 2015 PRESIDENTS' WEEKEND …€¦ · DANCE REQUESTS FOR 2015 PRESIDENTS' WEEKEND WORKSHOP (PPW) I assembled these videos so people could brush up on dances they

Rustemul de la Intoarsa; one of Mihai's Romanian line dances. About the speed of Rustimul; it has skips and reels in it and swinging arms. Energetic and somewhat difficult.

Rustemul de la Patulele: no video, Romanian; music has a quick, skipping quality, but I don't know the dance.

Sabrali sa se Sabrali Bulgarian line or circle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFPyMjW8alY video of just the music; not hard to follow, slow. I believe it was taught by Yves Moreau at the 1999 PPW, which I missed. ??

Sadi Moma https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tw9_PL5Y7g Bulgarian line, fairly easy; one of Yves

Moreau's dances from long ago i.e., the 20th Century).

Sardana (Angelina) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZXhkLO9p0k easy Catalan circle; feet sometimes

visible in video.

Schuhplattler Ländler (partner) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWCINO7p00I an advanced dance not suitable for doing if you don't know it and hard to learn from the video.

Shir Ahava Lerodus, taught: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_G-2mAeuMc Israeli, moderately difficult. It's one that has been done regularly at the annual folk dance workshop. Many turns. Two more videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7c_oZn160A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c_D42pDgxM

Sirba Pe Loc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFVGNmR3St0 one of Mihai's Romanian line dances; quick and energetic.

Soroc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v156Abp71Ak&list=PL0C9121A5FCD13EF0 Romanian line; one of Mihai's; not hard.

Staro Bansko Horo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SG08xpXTz1c an Yves Moreau dance, a Bulgarian

slow line--in the dark! There is a fast dance by the same name, but I think the slow one is the one requested

Here's the other one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlpJpEkFJRE

Stella di Maggio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouRiudyz1wY Italian Swiss line (or couple) dance; taught by Yves Moreau at 2009 PPW dance camp; one of ours, easy.

Syrtos Kitrinou https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56o5iS4NPj0 Greek, slow line, easy to follow. another video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeMiwrVIS28

Takanata http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_nxn0NWz_s Bulgarian line, taught by Yves Moreau at 2009 PPW; moderately tricky

Tropanka Bulgarian line, There are several videos of Tropanka, but the dances vary. I don't think any of them

are quite the same as the one Yves Moreau taught. This one is a lousy video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhTiEz9DIf0 The music and steps seem the most familiar here the most

likely here, but the video is even worse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVTaRds7k8U

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2uXMYxWG3Q This one is a better video, but the music sounds wrong.

?

Tsamikos 16 ct https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP4uGegk994 Greek, fairly slow; a little tricky.

Turkish Ramo Ramo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pAzJQcIww4 Taught by Yuliyan Yordanov at 2013 PPW dance camp; individual dancers in lines. Video has different, slower music and one guy improvises a bit. Easy, except the turns make it hard to follow..

Page 11: DANCE REQUESTS FOR 2015 PRESIDENTS' WEEKEND …€¦ · DANCE REQUESTS FOR 2015 PRESIDENTS' WEEKEND WORKSHOP (PPW) I assembled these videos so people could brush up on dances they

Twelfth Street Rag http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eEf7JbAhNQ (American couple dance .Wild video, but hopefully you can recognize it if you have done it before.

Tzadik Katamar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0HDKA3IaKs Israeli circle, easy.

U Sest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNX1RVZh018 This is what I know as U Sest #3, not U Sest #7,

which Jim Gold taught at 2005 PPW, with the "oop-sah's," for which there's no video. Orlando has #3 as U Sest

with no number, so I guess that's the right video. ? Watch the lead dancer in the line at the far left, who does

some of the variations. The line in front of her just does the same step.

Valija Hajde Merre Furken https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx3l8DtEb0U Albanian line, taught at

2014PPW by Steve Kotansky; slow but hard to follow.; requires balance.

Valle Pogonishte http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pzvs1bkBUTc Albanian line; Yves Moreau taught it at the 2009 PPW; fairly slow.

Vidinsko Horo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=981NNd2jczg, Bulgarian line, fairly quick, lots of stamps,

moderate difficulty. Here's Romanian performers doing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PM1TiWp25A

Vlashko http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9lkDkGvY8o (Difficult, Bulgarian line; I think Yves Moreau taught it at the 1999 PPW, but I missed that one: slow and quick parts .) ?

Vlashi Tanc, no information other than it's a dance of the Vlach ethnic group.

Vossarull https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3c4mUeMFCE Norwegian couple dance; not hard if you can

make a turn with your partner in two steps. Another video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRvmZ9p90Vw

Vulpiuta http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9bxxYrStfA Romanian line or circle dance, quick, energetic, moderately hard. Here's another with a group : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sx_vZ4yUR6c

Ya Da Kalinushku Lomala http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08D8P4boUpQ Russian circle, fairly slow, not hard.

Zazpi Jautziak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IyHhIdlNIM cool video for learning! Basque individual

dance. Taught by Roo Lester at 2009 PPW. This is basically the dance, but the footwork is a bit different: the

feet don't cross; the travel is forward instead of sideways in the video. It's the dance that symbolizes the

Basque nation with one jump; the three French provinces (3 jumps); four Spanish provinces (4 jumps), the

seven provinces (7 jumps) and the whole nation (1). Here's another, but don't watch the girl in the light blue

blouse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAm3Am6VWHc and neither video shows the jump sequence

above, which our music will use.

Zillertaler Ländler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsgHN6yi4Lc Austrian couple dance. If the man

knows the dance, his partner may be able to follow if she's a fairly good dancer. But the man has to know what

he's doing. This is the version that's closest to the way I learned it. The second video is slower, so it's easy to

follow--except when they cross hands, which is done sometime after he steps through the joined arms with the

kneeling woman, I think at 1:12. chttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KyAn4oWzaw But the man puts his

hands behind his head in one of the turns, which is awkward, and he omits the second, larger windows before the final

waltz.

Adjon az Isten http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X62JgV8CVxw Hungarian line dance; slow, very easy. I think Linda may lead this sometimes.

Agir Halay http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3nLH8gupA8 Turkish line; can't guarantee this is the dance; I'm guessing it's Margaret's request, but Orlando has a dance of this name, with music at this link: (but not this recording) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxH-rcGnX18

Aino Kchume, Assyrian couple dance. The video is close to the dance as I know it, except that we do three

variations and not the one turning the woman.

Bicak http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ymcJ7uN2VY Bulgarian, quite tricky to learn from video (also from directions), but worth learning. Directions: http://www.folkdancenotes.com/dancenotes/bicak.htm (note: it's very helpful to keep the tune and rhythm in your head while following the directions).

demonstrates and cautions us not to do it the way we usually do.

Cetvorka; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpQj9hmLh8Y&sns=em The silent video, contributed by Steve Turner, is of Atanas Kolorovski doing the dance 40 years ago. Macedonian folk dance, advanced; hard to follow if you don't know it.

Cha Cha España http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joiXbgJHOHM Latin-style dance, choreographed by Ira Weisburd (USA) & Motti Kotzer (Israel).; moderately easy except that the turns make it hard to follow. If you don't know it, stay in the middle of the pack so there is always someone in front of you to follow.

Delilo http://folkdancemusings.blogspot.com/2014/03/delilo-turkey.html (a popout may block the scroll bar,

but you can get around it). Wow! instructions and four videos of dancers at this link (scroll down). Turkish

dance taught to us by Bora Özkök long ago. Our style is more like the second version.

D’Hammerschmiedgselln https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfalJlS7ESo German two-couple dance; first link has very clear instructions. moderately easy. Here's two sets, a little quicker than our music--but where they turn their own partner at the end we learned it to make a large circle of all the smaller ones and repeat the first turning step: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqAoHkAIerM

Djanguritsa Bulgarian line; did Yves teach it? I cannot find any of the dance we do. This is the one that all the

videos show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9b1NpJXx1c

Hole in the Wall https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Krs2eKMaliI English country set dance; not too difficult,

especially if you do many set dances, but the video is a little confusing because of all the sets.

Hora de la Tulnici Romanian line dance, no video or music; Taught by Theodor (and Lia) Vasilescu; first part hands up, walking speed; second part hands swing back and forth, steps a bit tricky.

Hora Fetelor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV1ByCr5RHo Slow Romanian; A Mihai David dance. Should be a line, not a circle; fairly easy.

should to be fun. If you don't want to go fast, find a group that will go slower].

Kyustendilska Rucenitsa All videos by that name are of a somewhat different dance than I learned. Bulgarian line, moderately difficult and fast (depending on the music). The following link is the closest to what we do: the first half of the repeated dance steps is very close, but the second is very different. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0rYZGOl-oM

Mori Shej https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6RLcLEeuQA Humngarian Roma (Tsigani, Gypsy). The first

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBfJCjkxwE4

Na Dvi Strane Kolo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxJZdOqw6rM Croatian line or circle; this only does one of the steps we do and only in one direction--and it's different music. Moderately easy. Taught by Želj o Jergan at 1998 PPW.

Oj devojce http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGrMBBUekMs A Lee Otterholt dance, taught at 2003 PPW; slow, requires a little balance in second part.

Opa Cupa There is a Serbian gypsy dance choreographed by Steve Kotansky; four parts, but easy to follow-- except that the music and directions specify five (5) lifts when dancers go to the center, which dancers in most Florida groups don't do (except Gainesville). That's just not right! Taught by Jim Gold at 2005 PPW; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FO4ZyRq59Pg But it seems de rigeur on this occasion to do Lee Otterholt's, taught at the 2003 PPW (or both). Nothing (dance, music, instructions are available online for this version. Find someone who has the directions or video from the PPW and practice it. C'mon guys!

Pasarelska https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn_bNMyYA9o Bulgarian line, medium easy and medium

pace, but then speeds up a bit; short video. an even shorter, blurry--just the last 31 seconds:

Pravo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-eWdfZpMlE I believe there are different Pravos, all of which go

in and out, or forward then a backward step over and over. This is one I am familiar with; the leader can

change the step when he or she wants--or not. Jack, is this request Gary's (of which there is no video)?

Reshil Cico da se Zheni; no video, here's the music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVRtZQxCImo; all I

know is that it's Macedonian.

Zagarisios; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeiJsSFzN-Q; fairly easy, slow Greek line dance; leader calls changes. Another; minor variations with ours, but if you can follow these you're okay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeiJsSFzN-Q

Sapari https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXwrF2SROuo Israeli line dance; Jim Gold teaches in this video. moderately hard because of keeping track of multiple steps. Here's a video of someone trying to keep up with the leader and some other dancers trying to figure it out in the background. Just watch the leader: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aCX341XpFc )

Savila Se Bela Losa http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF2DZ3xnMNg Serbian line; very easy

Sedi Donka https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Sedi+Donka+dance Bulgarian line, our music is

faster than this, making it harder; this video does variations that we don't do--but could. (I learned it at the

1973 PPW (female teacher, not Judith or Gretel)?? So does this one:

Sev Acherov Aghcheek http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtLrDgocFgs Armenian line; fairly easy; double click to enlarge video. Here's another video with slower music and slightly different styling: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F92JbBIfDOo which one??

Sfarlis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Rzo0A-jZY0 Greek line dance; fairly easy. Here is another video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZQGNBdTems Taught by Dennis Boxell at 2000 PPW.

Shopska Ruchenitsa no video online; taught by Yuliyan Yordanov at 2012 PPW; Bulgarian line, lively, but not too fast or hard; on step 8 you can vary the step.

Sirba Din Cimpoi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZHmT7uUdGg Romanian line dance, one of Mihai's; not too hard, but quick and a little physical.

Staro Pomasko https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPcWpM6HAGw slow fairly easy Bulgarian line, Yves

Moreau leads. you may recognize some of the Dunav dancers with him. The dances look almost totally black

dancing against the light in the beginning, but you can make out the steps and eventually see them as they

swing around.

Tesbih no information; could it be Turkish?

Tokyo Polka https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o_XKIvKLzQ Japanese singer; Richard Powers= American

choreographer, I think. Individual dancers, medium fast. L touch&back lrl diag. to the left; rt touch&back rlr

Trgnala Rumjana http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABJvnYvx_O8 A candidate for the easiest dance of all. It used to be our final dance of the evening, lights out, except for a candle in the center of a circle of dancers.

Trip to Bavaria http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrG4YDem0xg strange name for a Scottish set dance. According to Aelita Pinter, it was supposedly choreographed by a Scottish dance group on a train station platform in Bavaria. Looks complicated. Don't do it unless you have had some experience with this kind of dance, preferably this one. The following video might be easier to follow (fewer people), but the lighting is bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9bGgzxDlJg

Triplets Quadrille: taught at PPW dance camp by Ned and Marian Gault; no Youtube video, music, or instructions available online; American set dance, four couples. I recall this as a complex dance you don't want to try unless you know it--but fun if you do it right. Not to be confused with the Triplets Galop Quadrille.

Troaca, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLs6vUqNlMU fairly difficult, strenuous, fast Romanian dance; Lee

Otterholt taught it to this group, but not in the video. He's the dancer in the wine-colored shirt.

Tsamikos Epirou https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Dacl89OF2k, Greek line dance; I don't know if this is

the requested one, but I suspect it will be a slow dance in which the leader can show off.

Two Cousins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0WIeTQNdw0, English country dance; partners in a

circle; change partner dance; slow not hard to learn, but maybe hard to follow if you don't learn it before you

try to dance it. Looks as it was taught by George Fogg at the 2003 PPW, except I don't recall the backing up

step. I thought we turned individually there. ??

Waltzing Matilda, fairly easy Australian circle of couples (mixer); various videos of singers, but none of

waltzers!

Yalel Ha'wa; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hgniO79pSE ; Israeli line; medium difficulty; Jack Seltzer introduced it to the Gainesville group; the first variation is nearly the same: the camel step; the other two are totally different: part two is steps in a counterclockwise diamond shape as 1:9 of this dance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7c_oZn160A followed rlr to rt., lrl to lft, two bounces on both feet; part three is two turns, followed by the diamond steps and double bounce without the rlr, lrl. ?? Better check that Jack
