Join us for our summer series of Yiddish dance classes at The Foundry in Cambridge! This series will be led by RUACH teacher Rachel Linsky (rachellinsky.com).

Wednesdays, June 3rd – July 1st, 6:00 – 7:00 PM

$5 in advance • $10 at the door

Come for 1 class or all 5; we’ll learn a new dance every time, so drop-ins are welcome! Each session is registered separately. Register here.

We’ll explore a wide range of Yiddish dance repertoire from Freylekhs and Bulgars to Zhoks, Khosidls, even some Terkishers, Kolomeykes, Sibras and Shers! Throughout the series, we’ll have the chance to dive a little deeper into the style, variations, and stories of each dance. Most importantly, we’ll learn how our individual voices can shine inside of a shared, communal experience.

No dance experience? No problem. You don’t need any prior movement background to join, and you don’t need to be Jewish either! These dances are for everyone, and people of all ages and abilities are warmly welcome.

We are lucky to have a phenomenal lineup of klezmer musicians playing live for us each class:

June 3: Nat Seelen & Michael McLaughlin

June 10: Nat Seelen & Michael McLaughlin

June 17: Nat Seelen & Yoona Kim

June 24: Nat Seelen & Michael McLaughlin

July 1: Rebecca Mac & Michael McLaughlin
