DANCES OF MODERN ISRAEL

[Updated July 3, 2026]

I am requesting input from you, the dancers.

Why? I am going to be away at my annual two-week international dance event and will miss Monday, July 20 and 29. Aaron and Latishya will be running the session for me. In the meantime, I have two Mondays - July 6 and 13 - to teach. I am reluctant to teach any new dances because that puts an additional burden on A&L to be able to review and lead them, beyond just hosting the dance session.

That's why I am looking for suggestions from you for old favorites, both circle dances and couple dances, that you'd like to see taught the next two Mondays. Please email me at loui@louitucker.com.
