TEACHING - September 11 and 18 (September 25 NO DANCING (Yom Kippur ends Sept. 25)

I am teaching dances recently taught by Aaron and Latishya on Thursdays. I have been told that the dances need some reinforcement, and I also want to be sure the dancers who are able to attend only on Mondays have an opportunity to learn these dances.

She'at Ratzon שעת רצון (Desire Hour) is a new circle dance by Shlomo Maman. The song is sung by Yoram Ga'on.

and

Od Echad Sheshar Lach עוד אחד ששר לך (Another one that sings to you) is a new couple dance by Shlomo Maman. The singiners are Ilay Botner and Gay Mezig. Original music video is here.
