Workshop: Russian Folk Dance with SRAS
Welcome to St. Petersburg! Добро пожаловать в Санкт-Петербург!
You have been invited here in preparation for a live-stream workshop “Russian Folk Dance.” You’ll be joining Nadezhda and Mikhail, SRAS Partners from the Russian Folk Museum “Izba”; and Rafik and Ksenia, SRAS Peer Tutors. SRAS is excited to bring you to Russia virtually and we hope one day we’ll see you here in person.
Very nice to meet you! Очень рады познакомиться!
So how does this work? At the designated time, join the Zoom meeting and imagine yourself in Russia! We will take you with us to the Russian Izba and show you simple movements of Russian traditional folk dance. You will also have a chance to chat with participants of the workshop and ask questions. This live-steam workshop is in Russian.
See you soon! Скоро увидимся!
