Reply To: Mitzvah Tantz, what the prob’ exactly?

I hate to break the news to the Chassidim here, but they are not the originators of the Mitzvah Tantz. The practice is mentioned in the Machzor Vitry. But the Chassidim are the ones who preserved the practice long after it was abandoned by other Ashkenazim. So I suppose it’s fair to say that it is now a Chasidic custom.
