On the introduction you said there were 5 steps, but once you turned on the music (and when you had others dancing with you) it changed to 4 steps with left leg leading (crossing over) which was totally different than the beginning where you demonstrated solo.
Когато обясняваш танц(хоро) с броя на стъпките( движения), може да предизвикаш или сам да изпаднеш в заблуда! Така се получава с 5те стъпки, които всъщност са 6 движения! По-добре е да се брой музикалния размер - той не се променя, за разлика от движенията! Но позитивната енергия на видеото е супер зареждащо! Браво!
I would love to hear how different you know it. Almost every region has its own way in dancing horo. That’s why, for example, people from Northeastern and Northwestern Bulgaria dance different versions of Dunavsko horo.
@@SHEVITSA There is what I call a short, the basic, and a longer version. Both are danced in 6/8 time to 4/4 time music. The basic done facing center moving traveling to the right, footwork as follows: ct1 RF to R, ct2 LF close to R but slightly in front, ct3 RF to R, ct4 hold, ct5 LF close to R but back slightly, ct6 hold. Longer version requires 2 measures and forms a pie shape in and out of the center, steps as follows: Measure 1, facing and traveling diagonally to the right into center ct1 RF forward, ct 2 continue forward with LF, ct3 continue forward with RF, ct4 heel lift with RF while lifting LF up to bring forward, ct5 step on LF forward, ct6 heel lift while lifting RF up in preparation of stepping on RF but leaving it behind the body. Measure 2, turning very slightly ct1 step on RF backing out of center, ct2 step on LF backing out of center, ct3 step on RF backing out of center, ct4 heel lift with RF while lifting LF in front, ct5 step on LF backing out of center, ct6 heel lift with LF while lifting RF in front. Countless variations can be done with the longer version including stamps, double stamps, side kicks, dropping on one knee, even pausing for a count in the center before backing out. All these can be done at each dancers discretions. As far as Dunavsko goes I've never seen different footwork but have seen different arm swings, usually at different speeds. I hope I didn't sound like i was criticizing you, it's just that even though dancing is a living art form and people will modify steps for fun and out of necessity I've always been under the impression that some dances from a country are what could be called "cast in stone", the Pravo being one of them. But maybe that's just my way of thinking. As an American we don't really have any dances we can call our own as they all came from people who immigrated here. I do feel though that if I'm going to dance another countries dance(s) I should do it as correctly as possible.
@@HikerBiker WOW good job with the explanation in writing. I understand what you mean. As for the Dunavsko horo - the city I am from, Ruse, we start by lifting the left leg facing the centre and then turn right for the rest of the movements; in other parts of Northern Bulgaria dancers start by lifting the right leg and they are turned to the right all the time. Interesting, right? I'm planning to film it so keep watching, you might see a different version of what you already know. I'm happy to hear that people from America (and in general foreigners) know about Bulgaria and we can share the same interests here.
@@SHEVITSA You got my interest up about Dunavsko so I checked out my video collection of dance workshops and found a version from the town of Svistov that i learned in Seattle, Washington near where I live taught by Iliana Bozhanova. It starts with the LF doing a step hop into the center and then step hop with the RF out. Not sure why, but for some reason Dunavsko has never been real popular at the Folk Dance Clubs I've danced at in Washington and Oregon States. It may be due to the arm swinging so fast in the first version that was taught many years ago. Folk Dancing is now mostly done by older folks and most of them, unlike myself, do not put a lot of energy into their dancing. If interested i'm in the process of uploading many of my dance videos I made over the years onto RUclips. Channel name is balkandancer if you care to check it out. I'll be subscribing to your channel and looking for more of your videos.

Thank you. I will use your instructions for a kids dance classes. Very well explained.

She is not counting her steps after her counts 4 and 5. This would confuse most learners. It’s really six counts.
Много си красива 😍😍
Can you tell me the music?? I would love to teach this to my neighbors!
Продължавай!! :))

Благодаря много! Ще го имам предвид за следващия път!
Berlin is awaiting the next lesson
Doesn't look like the basic Bulgarian Pravo I've done for the past 30+ years, but maybe things have changed since I was dancing in Bulgaria in 2007.
