Fundamentals of Yiddish Dance

Traditional Ashkenazi dance styling is a way to explore emotional self-expression, deeper engagement with klezmer music, and lively, social way to move together collectively. Join dance leader Weaver and musicians Raffi Boden, Mattias Kaufmann and Rachel Leader to learn to dance to a freylekhs, a bulgar, a zhok, and other kinds of tunes you might hear at the festival! Beginner friendly, all are welcome!
