Jewish Dance in Przemysl?

This came to me by email:

I am Zuzana Palanová, a Slovak dance researcher and dancer conducting masters thesis fieldwork in Przemyśl during this summer. I am looking for the stories or memories concerning 20th century popular and traditional dance in the city or surrounding villages specifically in the Jewish and Ukrainian communities. The stories might be personal or from family relatives. Ideally, I would connect with people who may know something about the local dance events, dance types, or genres that used to be danced within the different decades; the spots, clubs, festivals but also the common family meetings where dance was a natural part.I understand Polish and am able to meet in person if needed.
