The Grand Rabbi of Dombrov dancing the traditional Mitzvah Tantz

Mitzva Tantz (lit. 'mitzva dance') is the Hasidic custom of dancing before the bride on the wedding night, after the wedding feast. Commonly, the bride will hold one end of a long sash while the one dancing before her holds the other end. The custom predates Hasidism, being mentioned first in the medieval Machzor Vitri, and has its basis in the Talmud. Although some Orthodox groups oppose this practice, most Hasidim have maintained this ancient custom.
