Saturday Evening Parade

After a supper and a singing workshop, we gathered for a parade from the sleeping quarters to the dancing space/gym. This was great fun as it gave us an opportunity to show off our costumes, as well as gather and travel together to the party. In the past, we come wandering into the party for the first hour and many of us missed a fair portion of the early dancing.

And a float!

When we arrived at the dance hall, Charlie led us in a grand promenade, giving us plenty of time to admire each other's costumes!

Rakia International Folkdance Band played two wonderful sets - they sound great and are fun to watch as we dance.
