I've always done Sasha with the counting in Russian (and the tune sounds
kind of Russian). I don't speak Russian, but when it's been taught (Becky
Tracy always teaches it at Meadowlark Music Camp for the Tuesday night
dance) it sounds like "ein!, svy!, try!", with the "r" pronounced more like
a "d". It's lots of fun.

*Sasha (Couples anywhere)--done to a specific tune *
*"Sasha!, Sasha!, one!, two! Three!" (finger point on 1,2,3)*

RRR, LLL, B(oth)BB, K(nees)KK (8)
RRR, LLL, BBB, KKK (8)*

to find another partner(16 steps)*
