    We're in for a real treat this month. Described by Ari Davidow of the Klezmer Shack: "Take some impeccably played folk music from the British Isles. Add some decidedly fun songs and lyrics--an AA Milne poem, "Disobedience" set to a jig; the folk music semi-hit, "Disobedience" and lots more traditional and transmogrified music, and you have ELH." Fun, energetic, quirky and great dance music, ELH is one you don't want to miss.

    Last month, Dave Eisenstadter participated in our mentoring program with Sue Rosen, and this month will be sharing the evening with BIDA's own Chris Weiler. Chris is known for his clear, concise teaching and warm, welcoming stage presence.
