DANCES OF MODERN ISRAEL

BACK

[Updated September 7, 2025]

TEACHING - SEPTEMBER 8                    ** NO DANCING ON Monday, September 22 (Rosh Hashana) **

After much input, tallying, and thought, I've picked two *partner* dances for review. There was only slight interest in reviewing circle dances. So...

At Kvar Lo Iti את כבר לא איתי (You are no longer with me) couple dance by Amnon Amram (1994). The first part is not difficult, so I'll be focusing on the second part which many dancers find confusing. Haim Moshe is the singer and the lyrics are here.

Ala Salamtek עלא סלמטק (May you be well) couple dance by Avi Levy (2018). It has been taught several times, but there was a strong contingent asking for another teaching with the hope it will stay in the repertoire. We will see.... The singers are Gusto and Miri Mesika.

NEXT WEEK is another all-requests dance party following our long weekend at Nirkoda Bekerem in Sacramento.
