DEFINITION: bottle dance [Yiddish: flash tantz, flaschen-tanz, flashtanz]: An age-old traditional Eastern European Jewish folk dance in which one or more men dance with a wine bottle balanced on the head. Usually accompanied by klezmer music, it is most often performed at weddings, bar & bat mitzvahs and other celebrations in joyful homage to the guests of honor. DESCRIPTION by Sylviane Gold: "...the words "bottle dance" summon up more than steps. You remember a line of black-suited men, arms linked, knees jackknifed in deep plie, brows furrowed in concentration, slowly, deliberately thrusting their legs out and propelling themselves forward without toppling the wine bottles perched precariously on their hats. And you remember the mixture of surprise and delight and suspense, the feeling that you were being transported into the realm of the impossible..."

For Bar & Bat Mitzvahs: Spectacular "Grand Entrances" and, at long last… unique and fun "Candle Lightings!"
We have troupes in major cities across the USA, including:
l The New York tri-state area l Philadelphia l Baltimore l Washington DC l South Florida l Chicago l Houston l Las Vegas l Los Angeles & all of Southern California
Programs are also available in other cities, and even other countries!
Not only do we have different programs for different types of events (weddings are obviously different than tribute dinners), but every appearance is created and personalized around what you are planning.
In fact, every B'nai Mitzvah is even unique! An intimate "Kiddush luncheon" following the service for just 50 or 60 people will certainly be different than an evening affair with 75 kids and 225 adults with a DJ or live orchestra!
We look forward to shipping you our free DVD in its entirety, but kindly ask that you call us first, so that we may share with you just how our program will fit in to what you are planning. That way, you'll be able to view the DVD knowing just how it will work around your particular celebration! At that time, we will certainly be delighted to answer all of your questions, and, of course, tell you about our pricing.
