> UNIQUE ASPECTS ABOUT THE SHORASHIM WEEKEND & SOME NEW THINGS FOR THIS YEAR
> 
> Having been transformed into an "urban camp" three years ago, Shorashim
> now moves to Broadway with all events at Bridge for Dance, a professional
> air-conditioned dance studio with a great wooden dance floor (especially
> for those who still love to dance barefoot).
> 
> Shorashim continues the tradition of providing the best teachers at an
> affordable cost.  In fact, you can attend all workshops and parties over
> three days and four nights for under $100.  Our rates are less than last
> year, with $10 for workshops and only $15 for workshop plus party. 
> 
> You can pick and choose the workshop(s) and party nights that are
> appropriate for you, which can result in a considerable savings.   A
> preliminary schedule is listed below. 
> 
> Much of the day is free, with repertoire workshops scheduled in
> mid-afternoon and most advanced-level workshops in the evening, so you can
> sleep late or take advantage of the numerous attractions in New York City
> during part of the day. 
> 
> All registration will be on-site and there will be no pre-registration.
> Since space is limited, entry will be on a first come-first serve basis
> and latecomers will be admitted as space permits to each event.
> 
> As a courtesy to visitors to New York City attending Shorashim, a list of
> reasonably priced hostels and hotels within walking distance of Bridge for
> Dance will be provided, if requested.  
> 
> Yankele Levy will have available for purchase his latest book that
> includes notation for practically all his dances (including his newest). 
> 
> A video will also be available of the dances taught at the weekend from
> Ben Hole (who also has videos of previous Shorashim weekends).
