Klezmer Ceilidh with Ilana Crawitz Enjoy the familiar ceilidh/barn dance format-live music
Dance Styles: International Folk
Price: 15.00
Time: 1930-2130
Ticket Options: Ticket recommended (pay on door if places available)
Enjoy the familiar ceilidh/barn dance format (live music, dance leader, fun) with one essential difference – the music and steps are old-style Jewish, rather than Celtic. Dance leader Ilana Cravitz will take you through the steps for lively freylekhs, sinuous horas, upbeat bulgars and more with some of UK klezmer's finest klezmorim: John Macnaughton (clarinet), Phil Alexander (piano accordion), and Theo Malka-Wishart (double bass). No previous experience or partner needed.
