TEACHING - January 26 and February 2
This week you'll be learning two new dances from Gadi Biton, both taught at Machol Miami in December. Believe it or not, I have not taught a dance by Gadi since May, 2025 (Korim La Laila)!
Kaitz Acharon קיץ אחרון (Last summer) is a new circle dance by Gadi Biton. (I am impressed that he can take simple dance movements - walk, grapevine, cherkassiya, turn - and make an interesting, expressive dance.) The singers are Arkadi Duchin and Roni Dalumi. The lyrics are by Eilai Botner who also wrote Im Haya Lanu Zman. The lyrics are here. [The video is of Yaron Karmiel, not Gadi.]
Tishim v'Sheva פרופיל 97 (97) is a new partner dance by Gadi Biton. The singer is Pe'er Tasi. Lyrics in Hebrew are here. "Profile 97" refers to high physical fitness.
