Center for Traditional Music and Dance presents a Tantshoyz Yiddish Dance Workshop/Party at the JCC in Manhattan 
(334 Amsterdam at 76th St.) on November 16, 2008 from 7:00PM - 10:00PM.  Master dance leader Zev Feldman will teach you 
the steps.  A live klezmer band will feature some of New York's hottest klezmer musicians.  The event is targeted to 
adults with beginners and teens absolutely welcome.  

Yiddish Dance is the traditional dance of the Ashkenazic Jews of Eastern Europe.  For hundreds of years,
Jews have practiced a diverse repertoire of traditional circle and couple dances, including freylekhs, shers,
bulgars and horas.  While klezmer music has experienced a world-wide revival over the past 30 years, 
the Tantshoyz series presents a rare opportunity to learn to dance to the music.
