A Macedonian dance. I learnt this dance from Anne Hildyard in 2006.
The music is in an even 4/4 rhythm, the dance mostly folows this but also has a couple of quick steps!
Start off in a line, with arms in a W hold.
Lift the left foot, step back with the left, close with the right, then step forward with the left.
Lift the right foot, then step back with the right and start bringing the arms down to a V hold. Close with the left with the arms slightly behind the body, then step to the side with the right while starting to bring the arms forward.
Quickly bounce on the right foot while lifting the left across in front and moving the arms forward (but still in a V hold). Quickly step onto the left, then step to the side with the right while bringing the arms back Do this sequence twice.
The dance begins at the start of any musical phrase.
This is a private recording, which should appear on a future Xenos CD.
