DANCES OF MODERN ISRAEL

BACK

[Updated March 22, 2026]

TEACHING - March 23 & 30

Two new dances coming up this week. Both were taught at Machol Miami in December 2025.

Chag HaMeshek חג המשק (Harvest Festival) is a new circle dance by Avi Levy. The singer is Elai Botner. Lyrics in English are here.

Chloe קלואי (Chloe) is a new couple dance by Gadi Biton.The singer is Eyal Golan. Lyrics in Hebrew and the English translation are here. It has been taught at the Thursday session and I think it's important that we maintain an overlap of dances in our repertoire.
