A couple of people in the building caught me line dancing at a festival last year and have asked if I could hold an informal lesson for residents sometime before Lowell’s Greek festival season starts in June. As a rule, I’d rather dance myself than teach, but I’m game to give it a shot if there’s interest. Here’s what I’m thinking:

• Location for lesson: Probably the little park out front with the nice pathways, especially since the Board just recently expressed a reluctance to deal with requests to use the atrium or other common areas in the midst of everything else they’re juggling at the moment. Other location suggestions are welcome.
• When: Probably the end of May or the beginning of June. Exactly what day, date, and time depends on the weather and what’s convenient for the interested parties.
• The dances being taught would most likely be:
  • Kalamatianos—This is an absolute favorite, and will turn up at just about any event where there’s a Greek band, including at restaurants and general festivals.
  • A basic Tsamiko—Don’t be scared off by what you see on YouTube if you search for this dance. The simplest version of a Tsamiko can be done by anyone who can count to four, dancer or not.
  • Cost: Free!!

If such an event would interest you, please let me know in the comments, and please include any thoughts or suggestions about a convenient day, time, and place.
