Jira Galdua: The Lost Turn

We are sharing some phenomenal video with you this week from Dantzan.eus. Our friend, Gari Otamendi, effortlessly demonstrates the Jira Galdua a difficult dance step for sure that had been lost, but then recovered by the Ikerfolk Elkartea in 1996. The video is in Basque but we encourage you to watch and enjoy how people from different cultures, perform this step in their dances. See the original post on Dantzan.eus here.
