Plus\, there’s a playground on the side of the field. \n  \nDo I have to dance? \n– No. You’re welcome to hang out and listen to the music. \n  \nWhat if I want to dance but don’t know how? \n– Never fear. We’ll teach you! \n  \nDo I have to be Jewish to dance to klezmer music? \n– Of course not. The music and dances come from Ashkenazi Jewish culture but we welcome everyone to join in the fun. \n  \nIs there food? \n– While there is not food provided at the bandstand\, there are plenty of restaurants offering takeout within a four minute walk. \n  \nAre there restrooms at the bandstand? \n– Restrooms are available inside the community center behind the bandstand.
