Turkish Rom Dance Classes in Glen Echo Park

Hi All! Just a reminder to folks interested in learning more traditional Turkish Rom steps, gestures and combinations.
I'm teaching an 8-week series at Glen Echo Park in Maryland on Monday nights 7:30pm - 8:30pm starting on March 31.
We will be focusing more on Rom folkloric/social dancing elements which can also be included in your Tribal/Oriental dance. We will be exploring the Romani 9/8 rhythm based on what I"ve been studying with Reyhan, so hopefully it will be new to some of you, viewing video footage of actual Romani men & women dancing (in one class), and I may teach a few new steps I've learned from Turkish folkdancers as well.
Last class is Monday after Herdeljezi Festival, so we will be able to review some of what is taught at the festival...
There is a MINIMUM of 5 people needed for the class to run. So far, 3 are signed up. Don't wait too late to sign up!
To register: www.glenechopark.org
Click on "Classes & Workshops" and "Spring Schedule 2008". Turkish Rom is listed under "Folk". It's $120 for 8 weeks. A steal of a deal!
Thanks!
