If he objects to the term "Klezmer Dance", maybe he wouldn't mind "Dancing
To Klezmer Music".

I was talking with the head of the Cleveland Yiddish Cultural Committee who
took me to task for using "Yiddish Dance".  He instists that the word
Yiddish cannot be used with
> dance.  I told him that this is what some people are calling it.  He also
nixed "Klezmer Dance".  The phrase "Traditional Eastern European Jewish
Dance" is correct, but unwieldly.  Who has a good suggestion, or some
convincing rationale, for a good name?
