Dancing this easily like piece of cake, you seem to be weightless... You have that tenacity, firmness, strength, determination and yet lightness like you levitate in your moves, steps. Your whole body dance, not only feet... You perfectly understood the spirit of melody. This is great!!!

I can't believe you are not from Balkan and dance like this!!!

This is a version that I learned from John Kuo, the director of Balkanske Igre in Chicago--I agree that it is a fabulous dance! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. --Emily
