I talk about them all the time. I spend hours searching for ithem on YouTube. I absorb the choreographies and the stylistic nuances of them every week in practice and sometimes, just sometimes, I get the urge to fuse them. They are folk dances from anywhere and everywhere! Right now my focus is on Central Asian and Middle Eastern Folk dance. But eventually I want to move to other regions.

Let's celebrate those dances from the rhythms to the foot work to the sometimes not all that flattering costuming!

I've decided to go through my blog and just copy what I posted there. Eventually I'd like to have a topic for each dance style set up.
