Teaching: Franklin Houston will be presenting Kolo Hour again this week. Kolos are  dances from the former republic of Yugoslavia that are usually (but not exclusively) done in open or closed circles without partners. Franklin will share his love of the old-time kolos that came from the cities and towns in Serbia – the “old town dances” called “starogradske igre.” The featured teaching will be U Šest, the most popular dance in Serbia and found in cities and villages alike. U Šest is so popular that Serbs just call it “kolo!”
