The

 |
A
highlight of the day - Dana, a Romanian gypsy dance. We started it
as a performance dance (see the photo), but the dance was so inviting
that several members of the audience, followed by SU students (who did
not know the dance) joined in after the first musical phrase.
Unfortunately, there was no one left to take a photo of this wonderful
unexpected response. That music was played again, and the Dana
circle became even bigger! |
