Join us for a joyful Sunday afternoon of Yiddish folk dance and live Klezmer music! We’re excited to host this special pop-up experience at the new Jean Appolon Expressions Dance Center in Roxbury, featuring live Klezmer music and all-levels dancing led by RUACH teacher Rachel Linsky (rachellinsky.com).

Throughout this gathering, we’ll learn core pieces of Yiddish dance repertoire from Horas, to Freylekhs, Bulgars and beyond. We’ll dance in a circle together, discovering how 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 all ages and abilities are warmly welcome.

We’re grateful for JAE’s partnership in hosting this event. Given that the studio’s main dance floor is a soft marley, we have been asked to abide by their “shoes-off preferred” policy (strictly indoor/dance shoes are OK!).

This event is powered by a Belonging grant from UpStart. We are so appreciative for their support in bringing RUACH’s Yiddish dance experiences to the greater Boston community!
