In late March, Jordan Middle School hosted a barn dance for students and parents following “folk dance week.”
The week-long series of dances was led by Evo Bluestein as part of his folk-dance residency, which teaches middle-schoolers about community building. The event was the first of its kind for the school.

Great fun! I have fond memories of barn dances in the UK. I think we spent most of the time laughing, in stitches watching each other try to follow the dance steps.
Beautiful!
Had a great time teaching dance at jordan Middle School and it was a fun community dance. We get to do it again next fall. Nice job on the video.–Evo Bluestein, http://evobluestein.com
Hey, how come the rest of us weren’t invited??? Looks like fun! (Why wait til next year?)
Thank you to the music teacher who pushed for this to come to Jordan (sorry, don’t know name). It was a great learning experience for the students. When else would one learn folk dancing?
