We give individual classes to each one of them and then we play as a group, said Espino. Some afternoons the students have participated in the Dantza-plaza, playing and dancing along with folks that gather in the Machete Plaza in Gasteiz. it is very important to know Basque dances and know how to accompany the dantzaris because it is one of the activities that they carry out in the euskal etxeak. That is what Pilar Shortsleeve, does for example, member of the Utah Basque Club who plays for the club s dance group, Utahko Triskalariak. They are always wanting to learn new things and they will really like what I am learning here, says this American in her Basque from Gernika that she learned from her parents.
