Dances from April 9, 2005
Salvation Army Gymnasium, 7:00 - 10:00pm

I arrived late and incuriously failed to find what dances had preceded my arrival, so I bring you to our regularly
scheduled dance list already in progress.

16 Juice of Barley 				England 	Russ taught
	As we knew in our hearts, Playford states "all clap and hands4 once round" which is to say the circle turn
	goes all the way, not half as we chose to do.  But it certainly is easier to accomplish the move in the
	allotted time if you only go halfwayround, isn't it? Thus our lowimpact adaptation continues by mutual
	consent.

17 Tamzara  					Armenia
18 Podrimsko oro  				Albania
19 Cobankat  					Albania 	We didn't actually dance this, but rather studied
        							the dance notes while the music played.
20 Yolanda  					Colombia
21 Devojce  					Macedonia
22 Zorba  					Greece
23 Barsgeren yeghanag (Persian Melody)  	Armenia  	Joe led
24 Sedi Donka  					Bulgaria 	Russ taught  Thank heaven for the variablespeed tape.

Next dance: Saturday, April 16, Salvation Army Gym, 7pm10pm. 
The following Saturday, April 23, is the Spring Swing in Bozeman. 
Folkdancing in the Flathead will be held that evening.

Speaking of the Spring Swing, here is the tentative schedule for that weekend. The one change from last week's
dance report is a probable change in the start time of the Saturday afternoon Scottish.  I'm led to believe
there may be a Friday evening activity in Helena as well; details will follow if this is confirmed.
 Saturday:
 1112(Maybe)    At Harmony Hall. A beginners lesson for locals (for 
 the folks who don't dance enough to recall.) We can zip through these 
 again in the evening, but I'd like to add more from the 
 BourquesMoreau Easy International CD, which Carla should have by 
 then.We already do 3 from it.

 12 - 2 At Harmony Hall. Steam and Stomp Review and maybe add some new dances.

 2 - 2:30   Break

 2:30 - 5:30 Scottish to live music (Hallie and Tom Robison) at the barn, with Setnja and maybe another
 International thrown in. This makes the best of Bozeman our musicians and Susan at her finest.

 5:30 - 7  Dinner

 7 - 11 or so..    Dance at MT Ballet
 Some people will sleep.

 Sunday
 11 - 1-ish   Dance at MT Ballet

One more note of personal interest to me: the Swingin' On High Big Band will be playing a swing dance on
Friday Evening, April 22, at the Eagles lodge (37 1st Street W, Kalispell). Proceeds will benefit the 
Flathead Jazz Society  I'm not sure right now what the admission price is, but I know it's going to be
reasonable. Bandleader B.J. Lupton has asked the Eagles to make this a nonsmoking event, so have 
no fear of secondhand smoke and come to dance!
