Gala Dance Ball – New Yiddish Dance & Music

August 16 Sat @Tanzwerkstatt 20:00

The annual Yiddish Summer Weimar Gala Dance Ball has become The Event of the festival!

Dance Old and New Yiddish dances to the hot and romantic live music of the Dance Orchestra. It's no problem if you don't know the dances, there are dance leaders and other dancers to help. You can expect to meet a very colorful crowd of young and old from all around the world dressed up or dressed down. And between the dances, bands made up of workshop teachers and students will play short sets while you catch your breath and have a drink. Somewhere between an Emil Kusturica film and a family get-together, the Dance Ball is the highlight of Yiddish Summer Weimar.

With dance leaders Steven Weintraub, Andreas Schmitges, Vivienne Zeller and more, and the Yiddish Summer Dance Orchestra directed by Ilya Schneyveys and Alan Bern.
