Hello Dancer Friends:
We had a great session tonight! With 21 attendees: Bev, Clancy & Dan with Banjo & Wren, Clare & John, Helen, Jill, Kathy, Josie and beautiful Zanthi, Julie, Lou, Max, Michael, Pam, Peg, Sue, Suzi and Raul.
We started with SHIVERS at 100% speed, it was a treat to the more season dancers in the group, and a warm-up for everyone. After that, we proceeded to practice the three dances for the HARMONY event:
- CINE ARE NOROC ARE (Romanian).- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xftR-etoCjM
- DABKE (Palestinian) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKhi9LUk8tU
- DANCING ON WATER (Israeli) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FER_5vEk5BI
After that, we continued with ELVIRA, CALM DOWN, MANIAC, THE PIRATE DANCE, JERUSALEMA, and PEARLY SHELLS.
Then we performed the three dances for the HARMONY show again, without any tutoring, and we did GREAT! Well done team!
After that, we proceeded to dance WAKA-WAKA to close the night; but then added MEN IN BLACK to make sure we finised after 6pm.
Great effort team, it was warm and humed, but we still did very well dancing 16 dance choreographies tonight.

REMEMBER:
- HARMONY event on Sat 22nd March 3pm-6pm at El Horses (22 Berry St, Nowra)
- We are required from 4:30pm to 5:30pm (we'll dance around 4:50pm)
- If possible, come as close to 3pm as possible, stay as long as possible too
- Bring white tops (shirt, t-shirts, etc) and blue jeans (or any colour if not blue)
- I will bring the orange ribbon pins so that we can wear them
- We are not required to bring food, but if you want to bring something to share do so (there will be coffee and tea to have there)
- Before our performance: Teresa will introduce our group to the audience; Peg will introduce CINE ARE NOROC ARE before we dance it; Clare will introduce DABKEH before we dance that one; and Suzi will introduce DANCING ON WATER before we dance that one.
- Thanks in advance to Teresa, Peg, Clare and Suzi for this !!!
If you want to practice any choreography from home, here are the links to songs and tutorials:
To those coming this weekend to the HARMONY show, see you there! To everyone else, see you Monday 24th March 4:30pm for our next dance session followed by dinner at the AUSTRALIAN HOTEL, here is the menu:
They do offer some vegetarian options like vegetarian pasta, mushroom & halloumi burger, etc; but I don't know if they offer gluten-free options — I will pay them a visit, find out and report to the team.
