Just for fun - "By the River of Larissa"

I always absolutely loved this song; my deirdrej had it on an album when we were teens, but I never saw the dance that goes with it. It's cool! Observe the guy in the grey tie and the girl in the black dress. If you imagined this getting faster and faster, with flowing clothing? What do you think?

Oh yeah, I can totally see some hairpins being pulled out during that song. This was fun! Thanks for sharing, :).

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I could totally see hairpin stealing. (My colleague calls this the "handkerchief dance", btw. Apparently it's famous! I am not Greek, so I didn't know.)

Awesome! It's very square, which is the point of the "square dances" of Eddis, so it fits well!

(Personally, I tend to hear "Kingdom Dance" from the Tangled soundtrack whenever I read the hairpin scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYfySVrQxto)

That's a neat song! Yes, I can see that working, too.

When I saw the graceful arm and hand movements I imagined, too, how embarrassed Gen would have been if he was doing that dance, flailing around with his hook or wooden hand.

Poor Gen.

Our graceful Gen!

You are quite right1 Poor Eugenides! He is very easily embarrassed. OTOH, it never stops him from doing anything, and I find it hard to imagine him flailing, hook or no hook!

Thanks for your response. ;)
