Zabava Balkan Dancing

There are so many beautiful song-dances out there. Some of us are getting together to learn the words and harmonies so that we can sing and dance at the same time. This is a Zabava ("fun") singing group - we are all here to learn together, to experience the joy of harmony, and to get past the self-criticism that seems to come up while singing.

We meet Sunday afternoons, 5-6:15pm, at varying locations near Reed College in SE Portland so that we can dance with the Kyklos International Folk Dancers afterwards.

If you'd like to come, send email to join the Zabava mailing list and receive announcements about the group location each week.
