Oh, and another thing that may help--Balkan dance numbers a series of melody variations(a lot like instrumental solos) that work for the particular rhythm, alternated with the original melody--you can call the B, C, D, etc melodies if you want--some bands play some of the variants, others play different ones. If you have trouble with some of them, just leave them out--often, they are really instrumental solos that have ornaments that don't really tranfer to other instruments anyway--
