Summer 2007 - Belle Stars in East Germany

Belle Stars jetted off to Berlin this summer (07) and led some lively dance workshops for young people in Wust, East Germany as part of their language summer school. We also played for dancing at night and were joined by Gica's sons and partner for a family Von Trap concert featuring dancing, songs, klezmer, and merrymaking.
