Well, it does not look like it, but today is actually first day of spring.
I thought I would share this dance with you: Garoon from Israel. I learned it when I was in secondary school in Hongkong back a long while ago. Naturally, we have a Chinese title for the dance --- Spring Time.
Last summer, GBIFD did Mayim in one of our summer outdoor sessions in the hopes of its bringing us some rain. Well, it worked a week later! So, maybe, just maybe, if we do Garoon, spring weather will eventually arrive.
Folk Dancing facilitates personal and social development in a fun and engaging way, helps build self-confidence, improve co-ordination, balance, sense of rhythm etc.; it promotes leadership skills and teamwork; it opens our eyes to different cultures in the world. "Dance is music made visible"(George Balanchine); and those who play music together stay together. GBIFD members dance to build a healthy community!
