Bob Morgan and Unusual Bands
Video Project
The video project for February was the Slängpolska - a Swedish couple dance. Nozzy recorded the music and Jake and Anna made some videos to show us how it goes:
- Learning Slängpolska
- Dancing Slängpolska
- Music for Slängpolska (also available as an MP3 file: Slängpolska)
- Here are the dots: Slängpolska från Kumla
We got 26 video contributions showing about 30 dancers, and edited them together into this:
