This week at dancing
 Programming: Enjoy a grand evening of dancing DJ'd by Bill Ogilvie. Bill promises everyone a great time and guarantees that he will play at least the first 20 dances added to the request list. He hopes there will be enough people to play some classic mixers, such as Arnold's Circle. Oh, yeah, and he will definitely lead Rencber later in the evening.

Teaching:
Come learn some great dances by our local internationally renowned Bob Leibman. Bob has traveled and studied throughout Eastern Europe since the 1960s and his contribution to folk dancing cannot be overstated. Bob will introduce 2 dances from Aegean Macedonia: Raiko and Sofka.

Bitola
(When I heard Bob Leibman was teaching Macedonian dances this Saturday, this song immediately popped into my mind - Bill Ogilvie)
Битола, мој роден крај,
Во тебе сум роден, за мене си рај.
Битола, мој роден крај,
Јас те сакам, од срце, знај.
Битола, мој роден крај,
За тебе пеам, од срце, знај
Многу градови, села пројдов,
Како тебе мил за мене нигде не најдов.
Битола, мој роден крај,
Јас те сакам, од срце, знај.
Битола, мој роден крај,
За тебе пеам, од срце, знај.
Еј, роден крај, кој бе можел
Збогум да ти речи, да не заплачи.
Битола, мој роден крај,
Јас те сакам, од срце, знај.
Битола, мој роден крај,
За тебе пеам, од срце, знај.

Bitola, my hometown,
I was born in you, for me you are heaven.
Bitola, my hometown,
Know that I sing about you, from the heart.
I have been to many cities, many villages,
Dear to me, like you, nowhere did I find.
Bitola, my hometown,
Know that, I love you, from the heart.
Know that, I sing about you, from the heart.
Hey, hometown, who could
Tell you good riddance, and not start to cry?
Bitola, my hometown,
Know that I love you, from the heart.
Know that I sing about you, from the heart.
