Andrew's Little Râčenica (Bulgaria)

Andrew's Little Râčenica 
Рьченица
(Bulgaria)


These notes ©2017, Andrew Carnie. In September 2017 I intended to teach Dick's Little Râčenica to my group, but somehow I just totally made something else up, notated below and called this "Dick's little Râčenica).  This made up dance is essentially the first step of Elenska Râčenica. Unfortunately this is what people around Tucson are now calling Dick's little Râčenica. Oops!!

Music: Any nice račenica tune
Meter: 7/8, counted QQS
Formation: Open circle, hands in W position, Leads to the Right.
Introduction: start at the beginning of any musical phrase

Bar 1: Step on R to R (Q), bounce on R (Q), Step on L behind (S) arms swing down and back, then forward
Bar 2: Repeat bar 1, except arms swing back and forward
Bar 3: Step R (Q), L (Q), R (S) in place, hands in W position
Bar 4: repeat bar 3, with opposite footwork
