Fun, Fitness and
Friendship (P.S. It's also great exercise!)
Stretch your
weekend with an evening of fun, fitness and friendship at International Dancing.
Join us every Sunday night from 6:30 to 9:00 pm at All Souls' Unitarian
Universalist Church on the Plaza. You'll be thrilled by the compelling rythms
and graceful movements of traditional dances from all over the world. You'll
meet people like yourself, who are interested in the customs and traditions of
other cultures.
Haunting
Music
Louise Baggett and
friends have been teaching international dancing in Kansas City for nearly 30
years. Most of the dances originated in the Balkan countries, but our repertoire
also includes many dances from the Middle East, Central Europe and Scandinavia.
At first you'll be surprised by the irregular rhythms. 5/16, 7/8 and even 11/16
are common in Eastern music. But those microtones and minor keys will have you
singing a different tune in no time at all!
No Partner
Necessary
Most of the dances
are done in a circle or line, so you don't need a partner. Come alone, or bring
a friend. The Sunday Night group includes a very wide mix of ages--from students
to septagenarians. So no matter your age or marital status, you'll fit right
in.
No Lessons
Required
The evening begins
at 6:30 with an hour of easy dancing. Many dances are taught or at least
demonstrated, so don't stay away just because you've never done this sort of
thing before! Admission is just $2.00--the best entertainment value in Kansas
City!
