ABOUT THE PROGRAM
In Jewish culture, holiday celebrations, weddings, and birthdays are often accompanied by lively music and dancing. But you’ve probably never seen anything like The Amazing Bottle Dancers at your cousin’s bar mitzvah!
The traditional “Bottle Dance” has been performed at Jewish celebrations in Eastern Europe for hundreds of years. Balancing and juggling can be traced all the way back to the time of the Talmudic rabbis who would wow their congregants with feats of skill, showmanship, and fun. The Amazing Bottle Dancers continue this custom, performing to traditional music and inviting participants from the audience to balance bottles and dance at the same time.
