folkdance imageReed's Folkdance class is aimed towards all levels of dancers, including those who have never danced a step. Each class begins with simple dances and gradually works towards more complex patterns as the class progresses. The class includes dances from Albania, Armenia, Brittany, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, England, France, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Ireland, Macedonia, Romania, Scotland, Serbia, Transylvania, Turkey, and others. The teacher's specialty lies in the Balkan region, so the class will take time to explore the various styles and complex rhythms of those countries. When the opportunity arises, students may go on field trips to live music events around Portland and the Northwest.
