In that really long thread that I mostly "marked read", I happened to read this
message from Helen Winkler:
>I'm just wondering if traditional Eastern European Jewish dances are still

>I read an article that the macarena was the popular dance at least in the

>festivals going to be the only places where we continue to do these dances?
Speaking of which, where was the traditional dancing at KlezKamp? I was
expecting all kinds of traditional stuff to go on there, but it was just wild
jumping around. Jumping around is nice, but I really wanted to learn and see
some of the old stuff -- and it seemed like no one was doing it!
Yakov.
