Dancing at Mary Baldwin

A few weeks ago I asked " Where have all the young dancers gone? Well, I found some at Mary Baldwin College!

Irene Sarnelle from Mary Baldwin invited us to come and folk dance with them. So,last night a few of us went and had a great time! We had a group of about 20 dancers from various backgrounds. The energy and enthusiasm of the students were refreshing and inspiring. Susan O. taught dances such as Chilili from Bolivia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cPeof5a5qg&feature=related , Ve David http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPKfUAvNW8w and Shibolet Basadeh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQSvl0uvs1U&feature=related, Lerikos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cq4TvhMf1Yg a Greek dance, Adjon Az Isten a Hungarian dance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ruk3ODa8-gQ and many more. The song to Adjon Az Isten is different from the one we dance to, but it is a very upbeat version!

I just wish we could have as varied a group more often - just like in a village!

Another Day, Another Dance
