Steve Weintraub teaches the Yiddish dance Zhok, or Romanian Hora, at Klezkamp 2005. The dance is in 3/8 time and completely different from Israeli Horas. This was part of the "Make Them Dance" class at Klezkamp, co-led by Jim Guttman and Sherry Mayrent (clarinet). Emphasis was on playing klezmer for dance as much as it was on dancing to klezmer

  • This music cries out with history and heritage. I can see the laborers in the field, the faces of children, the weary and the joyous creating a village and a homeland longing to thrive, at least in their hearts.

    I agree with "billygoatmax". A list of the musicians is merited. And I agree with "cellorando" as well. The filming could come in for a closer, more intimate look. It all looks a little static. The Yiddish source does, however, succeed in conjuring.

  • Beautiful dance. Try filming from closer up.

  • how about crediting the ,musicians?
