Trad. cajun dansekurs

Instruktør: Sarah Savoy

• Bring your boots or take off your shoes, oppmodar Sarah Savoy. Ho inviterer folk i alle aldrar til å bli med på danseglede frå USA i ekte Louisiana-stil! Her kan du kome om du er røynd eller nybyrjar, ung eller gamal. Repertoaret er drivande fine honky tonks og raske hillbillies, så her er det berre å kome seg på dansegolvet i ein fart - for dans er gøy, dans er trim, dans er balsam for sjel og sinn!

Sarah Savoy kjem frå den legendariske cajun-familien til Marc og Ann Savoy frå Louisiana, og er ein fornyar av den særmerkte og dansbare cajunmusikken som franske kolonistar i Louisiana odla fram på 1700-talet. Eit must for dei danseglade!

Frå Sarah’s website:

Bring your boots or take off your shoes and learn to dance to Cajun music the way we do in Louisiana. This workshop is easy and appropriate for all ages. Learn to waltz, two-step and jitterbug Louisiana-style!

Tekst frå Neworelans.com:

Nobody cooks like a Louisiana Cajun – in the kitchen or on the dance floor. And you’d be mistaken if you thought you’d have to venture into the country to find an authentic Cajun dance party. It’s called a fais do do (fey doh doh) and nowadays, you can move and groove with the best here in the big city. New Orleans is full of Boudreauxs, Landrys, Heberts and Terrebonnes who were taught how to dance by French-speaking grandparents in bayou country. And here’s the best part: Most love nothing better than to show you how it’s done, cher. Check out one of the Cajun dance halls listed below. Before you know it, you’ll be two-stepping your way around the dance floor to songs with French lyrics, laughing and hooting and hollering with the fun crowd. Even if you don’t understand the words, you’ll find the music speaks to something deep inside of you.
