SEPTEMBER 16

Many of us spent the weekend dancing at Nirkoda Bakerem in Sacramento and Ilai Szpiezak, one of the teachers, is *probably* going to be attending our Monday session (I'm waiting for confirmation). Assuming Ilai is able to make it, he will be teaching two of his dances that he taught at Nirkoda Bakerem.

Adam, a circle dance and Tirkod Tirkod, a couple dance. I don't have music or video for either one, but I hope you'll come and learn these two dances.

If, for some reason, he will NOT be able to attend, there will be an all-request dance party after the beginners class.
