DANCES OF MODERN ISRAEL

BACK

[Updated January 18, 2026]

YES, we are dancing. It is Martin Luther King Day, but the Senior Center will be open for us in the evening.

AND, the heat will be *on* this week. The problem with the boiler has been fixed!

ONE MORE THING: The insurance waivers will need to be signed starting this week. You only have to sign ONE form and that's it for the rest of the year!

TEACHING - January 19

One more dance from the Li-Am dance workshop, plus one from Machol Miami, the camp held the end of December.

Hora Shalom הורה שלום (Peace Dance) is a new circle dance by Shlomo Maman. It is in the up-beat, high-energy hora tradition.

Karusela קרוסלה (Carousel) is a new partner dance by Rafi Ziv.
