I'm going to be at the St. Garabed Armenian Apostolic Church annual festival in Palm Desert, CA all day Saturday, November 19, 2016. Join me for an excellent DJ who will play all our requests. In addition there's excellent food and a place to meet a lot of new friends. See you there.

I finished at the Armenian High School, Ayb, with a surprise honor acknowledging my knowledge of Armenian traditional dance from Sepastia, Sev Tsov/Hemshen, Gareen (Erzerum/Yerzenga), Shirag (Ghars/Gyumri), Daron (Alashkert/Bitlis/Moosh/Sasoon), Vaspurakan (Van), Shatakh/Moks, Kharbert, and Cheugoosh. It will be over a period of the next several years on my annual trips to Armenia to continue teaching dances from these regions. Don't forget class starts in Glendale Wednesday, November 2. It's not too late to pre-register.
