Patsh Tants

[Helen Winkler <winklerh...>]

Was wondering about the history of the music used for Patsh Tants.  Is it 
considered to be part of the core klezmer repertoire from Europe or does it 
fall into one of the other categories?  Rivkind says the steps were created 
by Rebbe Zusya of Annapol, originally without music, just clapping and 
stamping, and was called the Shtiler Dance.  Does anyone have any other bits 
of information about this dance?
