TEACHING - October 20
In light of recent events, the return of hostages, and the glimmer of peace, I decided to add a dance to the teaching session.
Veshavu Banim ושבו בנים (Sons will return) by Moshiko Halevy from 1986. The lyrics are simple: "And your children shall return to their own border. And there is hope for your sake." This dance is energetic, but not difficult, just two parts. I think you will be able to learn it as well as review the other dances from last week.
Ani Cholemet אני חולמת (I dream) is a new circle dance by Elad Shtamer. The song is sung by Odeya Azoulay. The lyrics are here. This dance was presented at the recent Nirkoda Bakerem workhop in Sacramento. Aaron and Latishya presented this dance on Thursday.
Arba Onot V'Shir ארבע עונות ושיר (Four seasons and a song) is a partner dance by Elad Shtamer from 2022. The singer is Ori Harpaz who sang with Haparvarim. This dance was taught at the recent Nirkoda Bakerem workshop in Sacramento.
