In addition we get to hear excerpts from 'Sto Perigiali’, a traditional Greek song; 'Slow Down', an original by Stefan, and 'Carousel', a trad tune played on the accordion. This is used for a dance choreographed by Stefan that’s now popular in Belgium, Canada, Chile, Brazil, Bulgaria, Holland, Greece, Italy, Mexico, Slovenia, the UK and USA. His band Dark Flame also plays at gigs and celebrations around the UK.Stefan's interest in wellbeing and trauma release grew out of many years of work with the charity Inside Out which promotes arts for mental and emotional wellbeing.For an inspiring ride with a true Creative Magpie, tune in to CREAGEIVITY 31 with STEFAN FREEDMAN!Stefan's Dance Wise website: https://www.dancewise.net/Bursting with info, songs and video content!If you feel you're too old to be creative, or too creative to be old, then Creageivity is the podcast for you!
