Balkan & International dancing with Sherry Cochran on Friday nights at 8pm.
Hybrid sessions live in-person and via Zoom at LA DanceFit in West Los Angeles. Classes with Sherry and guests, frequent special workshops with master teachers, live music events, and weekly dance parties with Sherry's kick-ass request program.
Friday Night L.I.F.E. derives its name from L.I.F.E. (Los Angeles International Folkdance Extravaganza), Sherry's all live-music dance and music camp. L.I.F.E. Camp ran from 1994-1997 at Pomona College and brought together the best artists of the time for an exuberant celebration of Balkan Dance and Music.
Sherry has been teaching a weekly Balkan dance class in Los Angeles continuously since 1976.

A Taste of Joe Graziosi's 70th Birthday Party
Sei veramente molto brava ad insegnare!! Complimenti, non è una danza facile da far apprendere.
He is sooo missed...
Couldn't tell for sure but looks like Petur has changed the dance a bit from when he taught it in Seattle years ago.
Beautiful solo
It's not Bulgarian folk dance, its Macedonian
Great explanation dear Asako! Hvala
Poz moi Makedonci od Malesevo ❤😂
I love Turkish dances. And Romani dances are my favorites. So free and expressive. No choreography, just do your stuff. So of course I took classes in Turkish belly dancing that is infused with Romani elements. Very different from Romani dances elsewhere. Much more sensual. Loved it. ❤️
Hope to see you at Elizabeth's Workshop at Friday Night L.I.F.E. on 5/12/2023 with LIVE music by Trio Dancho.
Щом е шопска,значи не е македонска.
This is probably the most famous exhibition dance from Tanec. Choreographed in 1953 and based on the dance movements of the Shope people living in Eastern Macedonia and Western Bulgaria, it was introduced in the US in the early 1970's by Atanas Koloravski.
@@LifeBalkanDancers Разбирам!Шоплукът е голям.В България,Сърбия,Македония,Косово.Живи и бързи хора и песни.Шопите са траки:сапеи/от тях е името им/,трибали,сарди/серди/,агриани/граовци/,драги,балагри и др.Всичко,което е хубаво,е дар от Бог.За наша радост.
@@nikolaykolev1438 I got the translation. Thanks for your caring.
@@LifeBalkanDancers За нищо!Важно е това,което правите,да е хубаво,искрено и от сърце.
Great job. Your music is too fast for the dance, but you all kept up with it anyway.
One of my favorite Mihai dances.
This was the first Tropanka I learned decades ago. Still my favorite version. Thanks for bringing it back.
Priceless <3
Finally understand the sequence after doing this dance for a few years! Thank you Sherry! Paula in Boston
Thank you Sherry!!!!
Thank you for catching this great video. Thanks to Bill, Jeff, Marjorie, Michelle and Jerry for the gorgeous music.
Glad you enjoyed it
The moonlight is so bright over the path and all the way to me that my sweetheart is afraid he'll be seen coming to visit me. If I knew another path, I would plant basil and roses so he could follow the beautiful fragrances to find me more easily.
Thanks, Asako! I've been wanting to learn this!
Looks familiar. So many years ago. Why did ww stop doing it?
We still do it. We just do other Kopanicas more. Now we will need to work Lamba Lamba back into our Kopanica rotation since Michael Ginsburg is teaching it for 4 weeks.
The Bulgarians love this dance. We do it all the time. Thanks for putting it on RUclips.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for videotaping this!! Another great Ventzi dance!!
More to come!
Love this combination even better than the one from Alex. Let's do this one when we get going again.
You got it!
I remember practicing the slapping and the jumping and getting the timing right. Loved it. Those were the days. Thanks for posting this one.
Glad you enjoyed it!
So great to see this again.
Thank you!
Love the dance and the way you do it. Would love to see more from you. But can you please record it horizontally in the furure so we can see more on the screen? Thanks.
Please note: at the end of the video, I show starting the dance again with Part 1 "double czardas steps", but the dance repeats with (rock to the right, then left)x2. Apologies.
Excellent Teach Marcella !!
Glad you liked it!
Great breakdown and explanation of the steps!
Glad it was helpful!
Great dance!!! Thanks!!!
Glad you like it!
Reminds me of the award winning dance troupe in Trabzon.
