Hello Everyone,

There have been a few changes to details about the workshop on November 11 & 12. First of all, we are calling it a Klezmer Dance Workshop, in order to be consistent with publicity from the Cornell University Klezmer Ensemble (CUKE). If you see earlier publicity for a Yiddish Dance Workshop, that is this same event.

Here is a revised description and schedule
