Earlier this week we met the Cadaneasca, a 9 beat Romanian dance. Counting nine beats is tricky! We make it easier when we try it in class by using fruit to help us count. To get to nine, with “apple” being two beats” and “pineapple” three, we count APPLE, APPLE, APPLE, PINEAPPLE. We can also count “one two, one two, ONE two three” or, as we also do in class to kick us into gear, “step step step HOP!” We end our week in Romania with this level of fruit-counting, step-hopping joy.
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
