Välkomna till helgkurs
Underdal & Underdal: Bulgarisk helgkurs
lördag och söndag 10 – 11 oktober
Höstens helgkurs kommer i år att ägnas några av Leo Waudmans danser från
Bulgarien. Leo, holländsk instruktör, besökte Stockholmsklubben ett antal
gånger i slutet av 80-talet och var länge vår favorit. Holländarna har många
utbildade amatördansledare och en handfull experter varav Leo var en.
Vi har haft ett stort antal av Leo Waudmans danser på klubbens repertoar
genom åren. Somliga har glömts bort och förtjänar att tas upp igen, andra
har inte dansats sedan de först lärdes ut på 80-talet. Men nu är det dags!
Vi har plockat russinen ur kakan och lovar att bjuda på en smakfull
blandning – från långsamma stilfulla danser med ljuv musik till krutfylld
explosivitet och rasande tempo.
Nivå A:
Kari kommer att lära ut ett antal lättare danser efter Leo Wauman.
Några är kända sedan tidigare, bl.a. lugna fina Imate li vino och söta
Dune mori. Pravo Rodopsko undervisas på båda kurserna.
Nivå B:
Eivor kommer att undervisa två Leo-danser:
en jobbig svår Kopanica och en enklare Pravo Rodopsko. Samt en snabbfotad
dans från norra Bulgarien, inlärd på danskurs i Blagoievgrad i somras.
Tid: Nivå A enklare danser, långsammare undervisning
lördag och söndag 10.30 – 12.30
Vi har tillgång till lokalen från kl. 10.
Nivå B svårare danser, snabbare undervisning
lördag och söndag 13.30 – 15.30
Ta med bälte!
Plats: Bagarmossens Folkets hus.
Kurspris: Medlemmar i INTFK, 300 kr för en kurs, 550 kr för båda kurserna.
För övriga 400 kr för en kurs och 700 kr för båda kurserna.
Kommunikationer: T-bana till Bagarmossen. Avgår var 10 minut.
Ta med lunch om du deltar i båda kurserna, eller köp nåt i Konsum.
Kaffeautomat finns.
