Dr. Walter Zev Feldman teaching a “freylakhs” dance at the Yiddish Dance House (Tants Hoys) held at the Manhatten Jewish Community Center in January 2007. The band is about as all-star as one can get for traditional Klezmer, featuring Michael Winograd and Christian Dawid on clarinets, Pete Rushevsky on tsimbl, Jacob Shulmen-Ment on fiddle, Richie
Barshay on poik, and other great musicians whose names escape me. Dr. Feldman – a musicologist and an expert on Yiddish and Turkish musical traditons – teaches how to express Moldavian Jewish style in the dance form “freylakhs” which is one of the most common and widespread of Yiddish dance rythyms.
