sherele

Just following up on our discussion re:  the sherele dance.  I just received 
an article by Judith Brin Ingber called Shorashim The Roots of Israeli Folk 
Dance, Autumn 1974, Dance Perspectives.  Gurit Kadman who created the 
Israeli version of Sherele is quoted in the article.  She says" [they 
performed] a sherele that I which I arranged for them from shereles I had 
learned from old Russian immigrants."  So, the term sherele [in the dance 
sense] must have been used by Russian immigrants in Israel before the 
Israeli Sherele was arranged by Kadman in the 1940's.
Sincerely,
Helen
