Re: Dancing

[glenn tamir <klezska...>]

I suggest that everyone just dance the way the music
moves you.  If a group of people want to go around in
a circle - fine.  If you feel like jumping up and down
- kol hakavod.  

I remember when my grandparents used to criticize the
dances I used to enjoy as a kid because they grew up
doing organized folk dancing.
