For the last post of our “Everything is a Drum” Eastern Europe week let’s learn about “Lad’s Dancing,” a genre of Romanian folk dance traditionally reserved for groups of men. “Lads” of all ages dance at birthday parties, weddings and community celebrations. The dances are acrobatic, the rhythms are befuddling, and, as this UNESCO video shows us, the costumes are the best. Next week we visit East and Southeast Asia where we yell as we drum. Let’s go!
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site and are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our curriculum offerings and how to become one of our teachers. That said, if you were on ExploreEverywhere, you clicked to find more information about a song or lesson, and landed here, you’re in the right place! Some links may be broken and a detail or two may be out of date…but close the popup window and enjoy!
