Re: Yiddish dance workshop with Erik Bendix

[Helen Winkler <winklerh...>]

I agree that these dances are a lot of fun to do and very user friendly.  I
think it could be very interesting to build a dance event around a
traditional 19th century Jewish wedding.  Most people who do Jewish dance
are only aware of Israeli dance and have no knowledge that there ever was
such a thing as Eastern European Jewish folk dancing.  A major workshop like
that might attract dance leaders and could go a long way to promote the
dance form within the community.
