Monday night dancing in Petaluma continues though December 12, with a special Holiday Folk Dance Party on the last Monday featuring live music by Santa Rosa Vecherinka. 

In November and December, I'll be teaching these new dances:

• Or Chadash - a lively Israeli dance choreographed by Gadi Bitton
• Staro Bansko Horo - a simple slow Bulgarian dance done to haunting vocals 
• Ratevka - a popular 8-measure Macedonian dance in SQQ (7/8) rhythm)

And I'll be reviewing a few classics and favorites including: Jove Malaj Mome and Vidinsko Horo from Bulgaria; Tzel Midbar, and Erev Shel Shoshanim from Israel.
