Temple Beth Abraham welcomes Steven Lee Weintraub, a teacher, choreographer, and performer of Jewish dance, particularly Yiddish dance, the dance to klezmer music. On Sunday, November 22, Weintraub will talk on the relationship between Klezmer music and dance. Come and learn about the dances and rituals that accompany the distinctive folk sounds of Klezmer music. Weintraub received his dance training in Manhattan with Alvin Ailey and Erick Hawkins, among others. He is in international demand as a teacher of traditional Yiddish dance at festivals and workshops including Klezkamp, Klezkanada, and festivals in Krakow, Furth, Paris, London, and more. Weintraub delights in introducing people to the figures, steps and stylings of the dances that belong to Klezmer music. He has often been called the “Pied Piper of Yiddish Dance”; his years of experience leading and researching Yiddish dance allow him to quickly weave dancers and music together in astonishing ways. Young and old, from all backgrounds, find it easy to share in the joy of Yiddish dancing. So come to Temple Beth Abraham on Sunday, November 22. At 10:30 am, hear Weintraub discuss Klezmer music and dance. Optionally, you can join the Southern New Hampshire Jewish Men’s Club for breakfast at 9:30 am ($10 payable at the door) prior to hearing Weintraub. RSVPs requested at www.tbanashua.org.
