Newly Choreographed Yiddish Dances
Tuesday December 24, 2024 4:15pm - 5:30pm EST
CL1 - Hebrew Union College
Shared choreography: In this class, we'll choreograph a brand new Sher! Each class session, we'll learn shers already danced in the community (including the Workers Circle Sher and the Shining Sher). We'll shear them up to figure out what elements make up a sher, and then using those elements and our own creativity, stitch together a unique Sher for YNY 2024. This class is taught in person by Asya Vaisman Shulman and Sarah Myerson, and is open to anyone with any dance or choreography experience (including no experience at all). Please do come to all four sessions Sunday through Wednesday if possible, as the class will build day by day.
