About the Instructors

From a dancing family, Dona Hyll, has been dancing for as long as she can remember. She is a member of several folk dance groups. With the Miami Valley Folk Dancers (MVFD), a recreational international folk dance club in Dayton, Ohio, she has been immersed in a diverse universe of folk dancing of many countries since she was a youngster. She enjoys participating with MVFD on a weekly basis. She is a lead dancer with Bagatelle, an amateur group that performs the folk dances of France. Dona also performs with Zivio!, a group that specializes in preserving the folk dances of the former Yugoslavia. In her spare time, Dona is a member of the band Vatra Ziva, which plays the music of the Balkans.

Lorraine Fortner has been an avid Israeli folk dancer for many years. In Dayton she became very active with the Miami Valley Folk Dancers. This broadened her knowledge of dance to many other countries. Although Lorraine’s family heritage is of German origin, she was drafted to help create the core group of dancers known as Bagatelle (French folk dancers). Lorraine enjoys traveling all over the world for business and pleasure. Recent business trips have taken her to France, Austria, Poland, Australia, and England.

    Virtual Dance Room Cue Cards Session #4 – April 17, 2020 Thanks for Joining Us! Ethnic Dance Chicago (www.ethnicdance.net) Door County Folk Festival (www.dcff.net) Opsa Serbian/Turbofolk Open Circle 2/4 meter Translation: A spontaneous exclamation often used while dancing – no exact translation, but something like “whee!”, “yippee!”, or “ee-haw!” Opsa is in the genre of the Turbofolk form of music popular in parts of former Yugoslavia. Per Dick Crum circa 1993: Opsa is currently one of the most popular dances at Croatian & Serbian dance events in the major cities of the Upper Midwest & the Pennsylvania/Ohio area. Its melody is relatively recent, having been composed & recorded in former Yugoslavia about a decade ago. The origins of the dance per se are obscure. It seems to have arisen here in the U.S., possibly around Pittsburgh. On the other hand, its structure has the same 5-measure pattern as Vranjanka (Belo Lence, I Banu Ide, etc.). I first saw & learned it at the Tamburitza Extravaganza weekend in Los Angeles, 1993, where tamburitza players & fans of tamburitza music from all over the U.S. had gathered, and Opsa was played & danced dozens of times. Devetorka a.k.a. Biala Rosa, Tri Godini Macedonian/Bulgarian/Serbian Open Circle 9/8 meter (QQQS) Translation: The nine This dance is commonly found throughout Macedonia, Bulgaria and Serbia. It is structurally identical to a basic village Gankino/Kopanica, but is in 9/8 rather than 11/8. In areas where it is done, the dance is often called by the name of the song.

    Dances from Two Countries, As Noted by an Oblique (E.G., Germany/Austria), Are Listed Twice in This Document: Once Under Each Country

    LISTING BY COUNTRY Dance Name COUNTRY INSTRUCTOR(S) YEAR(S) Notes: Dances from two countries, as noted by an oblique (e.g., Germany/Austria), are listed twice in this document: once under each country. Parentheses are used for additional information beside the country name. For Polynesian dances, see France (Tahiti), New Zealand (Maori), Samoa, and U.S.A. (Hawaii). Limited notations have been added to some countries,A1167 such as (Transylvania) to Hungary and Romania, (Sardinia) to Italy and (Basque) to Spain and France, but not comprehensively. Some regional or continental dances, such as those noted as "Africa" or "Balkan" or "Scandinavia," couldn't be broken into countries. Dances marked "Czechoslovakia" and "Yugoslavia" have not been broken into separate countries post-breakup (1993 for Czechoslovakia into the Czech Republic and Slovakia; the 1990s for Yugoslavia into Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia, etc.). Dances from Belgium and Canada have been broken into ethnicities: Belgium into (Flanders [where the majority are Flemish-speaking]) or (Wallonia [where the majority are French-speaking]), and Canada into (French Canada) or no added notation, meaning the dance is from an English- speaking area. Some designations such as Arabia, Assyria and Palestine were left as ethnicities.
