16-рукий рил. Рил на шестнадцать человек. Почти год назад после Львовского феша проводили мастер-класс по нему. Я помню, как по дороге на феш простыла в поезде (Укрзалізниця турбується про вас!), а потом прыгала стопитсот танцев с дичайшим насморком. А на следующий день с таким же насморком потопала на МК. Ну че, выучили... Потом даже в поезде с девочками пытались вспоминать)
На память об МК осталась схемка кейли, незабываемые впечатления от пятичасовой тренировки с заложенным носом и сертификат от организации "Ирландские танцы в Украине" о том, что я теперь умею танцевать 16-рукий рил. Ах, да еще и разминка от Иллюши! Планки, тысячи их...
