As a Jew I am so offended that the Jewish experience has been completely ignored in this discussion. Is there some anti-semitism going on here?

Also as someone who is challenged by posting You Tube films properly I am feeling silenced.

I am posting the link from my ME space in the way that I know how to do it.

On behalf of all the goyum in the chair dance community I'd like to offer a sincere apology for the antisemitism and exclusion displayed by the previous absence of the great Jewish Wedding Chair Dance in this thread.

Thank you for correcting this imbalance with your excellent post. Some of my best friends are Jewish. Or at least some of my best friend's friends.
Well I know a few anyway. At least I think so. We suspect they are. You can't always tell.

By way of apology let me post a beautiful song by that great Jewish Diva, Barbra Streisand. Lekhaim!

One of the most memorable and unique holiday chair dance performances in the history of the art.

A true symbiosis between dancer and chair- en pointe!

The artist dresses in pantsuit to match the chair (almost), and remains firmly riveted to the goldleaf bamboo-sateen seat, which she strokes, rubs, and touches in a manner that conveys true love of the chair, and the act of sitting.

Interesting use of seated snakedance, exopthalmic synchronized eye movements, jazz-hand-and-toe-combo (!) and some unique head/shoulder action that initially “reads” as some sort of tic or spasticity but is then revealed to be part of the self-styled choreography.

Ample use of dry ice and tossing of glitter underlines the “otherness” of both holiday mythology, and the chair dance itself.

Sublime. Enjoy!
