Shir Le’Asaf – שיר לאסף

Tonight I taught the dance Shir Le’Asaf – a new dance by Gadi Biton.  I was able to find a video on You Tube of Gadi demonstrating the dance…Enjoy!

HaMalach Hagoel Oti – המלאך הגואל אותי

This week I taught the dance HaMalach Hagoel Oti – a very nice dance whose first part is almost completely in waltz rhythm.  I’ll be reviewing it again next week.  Enjoy the video:

Teaching at Kol Shalom Religious School

This past weekend I taught Israeli Dancing at Kol Shalom in Rockville.  It was their first Sunday for the Religious School in their new building – and I was lucky to be part of the celebration!  The kids really enjoyed dancing which put a big smile on my face.  Here are some photos:

Shkarim – שקרים

Over the past few weeks, the dance Shkarim has been requested a few times, and every time I play the dance it seems that people that don’t know it really want to learn it!  So this week I reviewed the dance.  Here’s a video featuring Roberto Haddon (the choreographer)…enjoy!

Jama’a Bamidbar – ג’עמה במדבר

Last night I taught the dance Jama’a Bamidbar after some of our dancers saw the Yonim troupe do this dance at the DC Israeli Dance Festival.  It is probably one of the more difficult dances I have taught at Tuesday night dancing (just a few years ago this was promoted as a “beginner’s group”, no?).  I will likely need to review this one at least 2 more weeks – luckily it seems like everyone liked the dance!

Ahava Tenatzeach – אהבה תנצח

Last week I taught a dance from four years ago called Ahava Tenatzeach.  This dance has become popular with the teen groups that I lead, so I decided to bring it to Tuesday nights as well.  Enjoy!

Tzoek Hazak – צועק חזק

This past Tuesday I reviewed the dance Tzoek Hazak.  It is a dance by the same choreographer as Debka Turkit – Eli Segal.  Here’s a video of Eli demonstrating the dance…enjoy!!
