Klezmer Dance Workshop
Klezmer is the modern name for the traditional folk music originating from the Yiddish speaking Jewish communities of Eastern Europe. It was played at weddings and other celebrations to accompany the event and, of course, for social dancing. Researched and revived since the 1970s, the music has become more well-known and widespread.
