Re: shadach vs csardas

Dear Itzik,
Thanks for that.  I've located the book.  Another tidbit of information is 
that the Sheffield Jewish community actually comes from Poland, a town 
called Suwalki near the Lithuanian border.  So, the dances done would have 
come originally from that region. (I'm still learning the right questions to 
ask--have never done this sort of research before).

"Has anyone mentioned Steven Zeitlin's article on family folklore in which
he focusses on the "kozatske" as danced by his grandfather,and grand-uncles
in America.? I believe it is found in
A Celebration of American family folklore : tales and
traditions from the Smithsonian collection / Steven J.
Zeitlin, Amy J. Kotkin, Holly Cutting Baker"
