This week in New, Do and Review Holly Plotner will teach us three dances:
Mahala Mori Shej, by Steve and Susan Kotansky, to haunting Roma music. Introduced to AIFD just before Covid lockdown;
Minka, from Yves Moreau, an easy Bulgarian women’s dance. An old favorite of ours.
Auauauau, by Romanian choreographer Daniel Sandu, learned from Roberto Bagnoli. An easy, sassy dance to fun contemporary music.
