Join traditional Basque dancing

Today the Reno Zazpiak Bat Basque Club celebrated their 40 anniversary with a festival in Wingfield Park that began at 10 a.m. and ended at 5 p.m. (I’ll be blogging more about that later.) But don’t think the party stops there. It reconvenes around dinner time at Louis' Basque Corner on 4th Street. They make a mean pecan punch – a traditional Basque drink with a bite. John Yusura, who manned the microphone at today’s event, said the dancing starts at 9 p.m. According to him the dancing is the real draw because in most traditional Basque dances you can talk to your partner while enjoying the music.
