"Come Let us Dance--Lomir Geyn Tansn-Two Yiddish Dances"
Settings by Nathan Vizonsky As taught by Miriam
Rochlin
What dances go with Klezmer Music? After all, "Klezmer" IS dance music! At
Weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, tnoynim, there was always dancing in the Jewish
communities of Eastern Europe. This 48 minute video teaches a Freylekh and
two variations of the Sher. It also looks at the life and circumstances that
helped give Yiddish dance it's unique flavor and style.
Narrated and produced Karen Goodman, the dances are taught by Miriam Rochlin
who studied with Polish-born dancer/choreographer Nathan Vizonsky in the
1950s.
Known for the authenticity of his style, he published his collection of
notations, "Ten Jewish Folk Dances" in 1942. Three decades since his death,
this documentary/instructional video brings his work to new generation.
