SUNDAY: The Big Yiddish Dance Party @ the Rotunda

POSTED: Friday, November 16, 2012, 3:00 PM

Filed Under: Music

A dance party with context? Why not? It’s kind of like adding Sriracha to your eggs — you would eat them regardless, but it’s seriously better with it. A lot of it. At this culturally rich gathering trombonist Dan Blacksberg aims to give Philadelphians a chance to be a part of what he describes as a connection to history and community that the tradition of Yiddish dance and klezmer music has to offer. He wants others to experience what he has—excitement and joy for being a part of such a celebratory event. For those interested in more than just the dance party, there are also two workshops earlier in the day at 2 and 4 p.m.—one focusing on dance, and the other on music.

Sun., Nov. 18, 7 p.m., free, The Rotunda, 4014 Walnut St., 215-573-3234, therotunda.org.
