Klezmer Enjoy Folk
Dancing with Jim Gold Planning a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, wedding, anniversary celebration, or special event? Looking for a fresh approach? Connect with Jewish and East European tradition. Jim Gold creates an atmosphere of warmth and laughter. In an easy, charming manner, he leads and teaches folk dancing to the Klezmer beat. Everyone: grandparents, parents and children will join hands, dancing together in the true spirit of celebration. As your guests arrive, they are greeted by the music of the Klezmer Connection: Yiddish, Israeli, Klezmer, and Russian melodies, plus swing, standards, jazz, rock'n'roll, oldies and Broadway favorites. This spirited, musically diverse band features clarinet, sax, flute, violin, keyboard, vocals, drums, and guitar. Jim begins a hora as guests join the circle. He alternates leading and teaching simple dances that everyone, young and old, can enjoy. As your guests sit down to their meal they're entertained by the Klezmer Connection's vast repertoire of Jewish and American music, alternating with folk dance sets. With friendly banter and easygoing instruction, Jim relaxes your crowd, finding ways for everyone--from children to the elderly, dance novices to experts--to participate. Your guests converse and catch up on old times without screaming into each others' ears! Share the joy of your event with your guests, and create a party they will never forget. |
