Abstract
This chapter sketches a nuanced survey of Hasidic dance from the eighteenth-century East European Jewish repertoire to twenty-first-century American practice. In this study, examining the collective body of dance involves both men’s and women’s traditions, co-territorial intersections, stylistic variations, neo-Hasidic interpretations, and gender differences at dance events. Consequently, the study challenges the notion of what has come to be considered “Hasidic dance” and suggests a more inclusive portrait in the modern era beyond the quintessential dancing rebbe. The essay addresses debates on definition, anti-Hasidic polemics, and Hasidic oral tradition as early dance documents, Jewish nationalism and neo-Hasidic dance, dance details in Yiddish literature, and ethnography, the undo-ing of neat divisions between secular and sacred in simcha dancing, and the impact of the Holocaust on Hasidic dance.
