This event is part of YIDSTOCK 2015: Internationally acclaimed dancer and teacher Steve Weintraub - often called the "Pied Piper of Yiddish dance" - will lead students in exploring and demystifying the iconic Jewish square dance, the sher. Participants will learn the elements that constitute the form and then create a special Yidstock sher. They will also consider other set dances (dances done in formation and favoring floor patterns over footwork) such as the couples bulgar, runde, and patsh tants. With live accompaniment by accordionist Lauren Brody.
