Romanian Dance Class

In addition to our Romanian language classes every morning, the program includes lectures, films, tours, and activities: opportunities to both learn about Romanian culture and practice speaking and listening in Romanian. One of these activities is Romanian ballroom dancing. The class meets twice a week, and it is taught by a former dancer and choreographer from the Bucharest opera.

She is like a very elegant drill sergeant.

Here is a short video of my classmates dancing. You can see our instructor at the front of the room, but more importantly, you can hear her yelling "sub mana!" (under the hand) "cerc!" (circle) and counting the time in Romanian.
