Program Notes
Dance Slav is a tribute to late 19th and early 20th century dance pieces in the tradition of the Brahms Zigeunerleben or Gliere’s Russian Sailor’s Dance. Russian Romani dance is characterized by the gradual acceleration of the music and of its accompanying vivacious dance movements. Female dances include wide hand waves with the skirt and lively shoulder shakes. Male dances traditionally include complex tap sequences and patting of the knees, shoulders, and hips.
