Join us at the culminating event of CUKE's Klezathon for TANTS-HOYZ: YIDDISH DANCE, a Yiddish folk dance, including a one-hour workshop before the dance.
2-3 PM: Yiddish dance leader Deborah Strauss will teach a Yiddish folk dance workshop, backed by CUKE.
3-5 PM: Take your newly-learned dance steps into party mode as CUKE plays a raucous set of klezmer and Yiddish dance tunes, with Deborah Strauss dance leading.
Can't make the workshop before the dance? No problem! Everyone is welcome to join in the dancing. Yiddish dance is a form of social folk dance that is easy to pick up. No experience necessary & fun for all ages!
You may bring handkerchiefs if you prefer to dance without direct contact. You can learn seated versions of the dances if that is more accessible for you.
Please spread the word by forwarding this email, sharing the event poster, and letting folks know they can sign up to receive a reminder closer to the event.

Co-presented by Klezmer Ensemble at Cornell University (CUKE) and Yiddish Folklife Festival of the Finger Lakes (YFFFL).
