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!!
