The answer is yes, I did ask her to dance. But that was the wrong approach. Several other men just grabbed her hand and started into flamenco dance moves with her. Not knowing the steps (and feeling the need to lose twenty years and twenty pounds), I was not sufficiently forthright. But I did capture these pictures of her - love that pointy nose. DanielS

L’viv does indeed look like a beautiful city but flamenco? they seemed to be dancing everything but flamenco. Some were doing a salsa, which is basically a walking step forwards and backwards (so you have no excuse next time) and others a rumba. It’s interesting that Latin dance is still popular in the East. Tango was a really big thing in Poland during the 1930’s until it was replaced by schuhplattler. No kind of improvement.

Związek Walki Czynnej (abbreviation: ZWC; Union of Active Struggle; also translated as Union for Active Struggle and Union for Active Resistance) was a Polish secret military organization founded in June 1908 in Lwów by Józef Piłsudski, Marian Kukiel, Kazimierz Sosnkowski and Władysław Sikorski, all members of the Combat Organization of the Polish Socialist Party’s Revolutionary Faction.
History
After the extremely successful Bezdany raid in 1908, Piłsudski decided to transform the Combat Organization into a newer, larger formation. The ZWC’s main purpose was to prepare Polish officer cadres for a future Polish army for likely hostilities with Russia, one of the three partitioners of Poland, seen by Piłsudski’s faction as Poland’s worst enemy. The goal of Piłsudski and his followers was independence and liberation of Polish territories, and for that reason he became a temporary ally of the weakest of the partitioning powers, Austro-Hungary. Piłsudski was convinced that the Central Powers would first defeat Russia but that they, in turn, would be defeated by England and France. His documented prediction, in the event, proved correct.

Lviv is probably the prettiest city in Europe.
Polish women are absolutely obsessed with Latin dancing.
