Re: yiddish dance in Canada's west coast

[winklerh <winklerh...>]

It's great to hear that the night of dancing in the yurt in Victoria has
yielded some enthusiastic Yiddish dance folk.  Did that dog who kept running
into our circle also learn the steps? :)

I'm now in Toronto, involved in folk dance but so far no Yiddish dance
events are scheduled.  If anyone here wants to get something going, you know
where to find me!

Dear listers,

I thought you might be interested in the latest here in Victoria, BC.  Our
local folk dancing society learned some Yiddish dances from Helen Winkler
last summer when she was in town and continued with her training video.  A
few of us musicians will play for them while they freilach the night away
this coming Winter Solstice.  Great legacy Helen - they look forward to your
return.

On another note, we're also playing Alle Brider at an inter-ethnic concert
where each group plays 10 minutes.  You name it, they got it - Jewish,
Muslim, Christian, B'Hai, Fence-Sitters - even a few Philosophers.  Been
happening for the last three years and the folks sure enjoy themselves.

Just thought you'd like to know.

Mary
