Re: dance article

[Julie Egger <jegger...>]

I'd like to see a copy of that article from Lori as I am also a yiddish 
dance teacher who studied with both Steve and Michael Alpert.  Could you let
me know when it is published and then I could download it from the Cleveland
Jewish News website.  thank you Julie
