Event description

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!

All Ages/$10-25 Sliding Scale 

About The Magid Ensemble (magid, meaning “storyteller” in Yiddish) – a new collaboration featuring award-winning klezmer musicians and composers Mattias Kaufmann, Raffi Boden, and Rachel Leader, Yiddishist and storyteller Weaver, and visual artist Kiah Raymond.
