I've noticed this dance just isn't done so much anymore. Do they do this anywhere with any regularity? I LOVE this dance both watching and participating and I miss it. So graceful, so elegant... One of the few women only dances I know of.

I really miss seeing this dance. I think it's been about 7 or 8 years since I last danced it.
Maybe it should be requested more!!!!I'd rather live on the side of a mountain than to wander through canyons of concrete and steel...Comment

It IS truely beautiful. A woman's dance it's very much like follow the leader except you hold out your arms and you slowly make flapping motions (like a swan). When you have traditional women with their long frings and it's swaying and moving and everyone is together...it'll bring tears to your eyes. The song is beautiful as well, however, it's been so long since I've heard it.Originally posted by Tahemet
