Teaching: Let's take a stroll down memory lane and remember way back to last year (that is to say, a week ago Saturday), when we danced the night away with some instant classics from Texas Camp 2012, including Shirto, Snoshti Vecher Rade, Ripni Kalinke and Ravno Oro. Well, be there this Saturday as we review these golden not-so-oldies! At 7:30 P.M., Mike Revesz will be on hand to review Shirto and Snoshti Vecher Rade while Misi Tsurikov will review Ripni Kalinke. For our intermediate teaching, Holly Plotner will review Ravno Oro. Saturday, January 5 7:30-10:45 pm $5 at the door 17 & older. 16 & under free. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
