The workshop will be led by teaching artists Dmitri Gaskin\, Misha Khalikulov\, and Bruce Bierman \nDuring the first 90 minutes\, participants can choose between spaces to learn multi-ethnic music and dance technique and styles. Participants will all come together for a 30 minute dance party focusing on the dances and tunes taught in the prior hour. The remaining segment will be an informal music jam in one or more of the classroom spaces at the JCC East Bay. \n______________ \nDmitri Gaskin (he/him) is an accordion player and composer specializing in Klezmer music.
