Ever since I was bitten by the klezmer bug a few years ago, all I wanted was to have the opportunity to attend a Yiddish dance workshop. My first plan to attend had to be cancelled due to serious illness in the family; a few months later though, I was ecstatic to discover that the Manitoba International Folk Dance Association (MIFDA) had decided to host a klez dance event in Winnipeg, with instructor Steve Weintraub of KlezKamp fame. Although once again illness threatened to prevent my attending, with the help of supportive friends, on November 23, 2001,
I found myself on a plane bound for the Peg as it's called.
