Do
warm evenings just make you want to get up and dance? Well, you're
not the only one! Even if you haven't the slightest idea how to folk
dance, here's your opportunity to kick up your heels, enjoy the
wonderful Boulder outdoors, meet fun people, get some exercise, and
have a lot of fun.
Tom
Masterson, choreographer and teacher for Postoley Dance Ensemble, is
coordinator (or should that be "coordinated"? -- probably both
descriptions of Tom are accurate) of this weekly get-together. He
specializes in Russian and Ukrainian dances, while other guest
artists, including Boulder International Folk Dancers, will feature
Israeli, Scandinavian, and other regional folk dancing.
With magical, sometimes-unpronounceable names like
Schuhplattler, Mazurka, Tirge, Kleistos, and Nevestinskoto, an
exotic experience is sure to follow. Then again, you may learn some
dances with more familiar names like Irish Dance, Hora (Israel),
Jig, Reel, Hula, Square Dance, Polka, etc. No matter what themes the
evening takes on, a good time will be had by all.
