Before the break and at the end of the evening there's a waltz. Sometimes there's other couple dances like the Hambo or the Schottische . During the break, we often put on swing music for those who can't stand to take a break. The atmosphere is smoke and alcohol free. Partners aren't required since it's a non-threatening environment to ask and be asked to dance.
Beginners are welcome and workshops are usually held the hour before each dance.
Every dance has the same name as the song. In eastern Europe, every village has it's traditions, and regions of the old country built music and dance around their traditions. We in the States have reaped the benefits of being an immigrant nation by learning the best of these rich heritages. We do slow line dances from Greece, elegant couple dances from Austria, energetic dances from Israel, and intricate dances from Romania.
