BAR HARBOR — Carolyn Rapkievian will teach an Armenian dance workshop from 7:30-8:30 p.m. Sunday July 16, at the YWCA of Mount Desert Island.
The workshop of line and circle dances promises to be fun for beginners and experienced dancers and will feature live music with David Rapkievian playing oud and Zach Taibi playing dumbek.
Rapkievian began teaching in Bar Harbor in 2019 but workshops were suspended during the pandemic.
“I’ve been leading dances on Zoom but it’s wonderful to be offering in-person classes again,” she said.
This particular workshop will be in celebration of “Vartavar,” the Armenian festival of water and rejuvenation celebrated each July.
No reservations are required for this workshop, which costs $5 at the door.
