TabakieraPoland/USA (Sacred Circle)
These notes ©2017, Andrew Carnie. I learned this dance from Harvey Gardner. It's part of the sacred circle dance tradition found through out the world. The music is Goran Bregovič and Kayah singing a tango. The dance was choreographed by Wilson Liepnitz. There is an Israeli/Greek dance of the same name choreographed by Motti Kotzer. This one is completely different.
