We’re back in the Friedman Center! We’ll be dancing there at 7 p.m. May 11 and 25. It will be interesting to see what it’s like!
Beginning dances #2: Gadi Bitton, a noted Israeli choreographer, has posted, on You Tube, a collection of Israeli dances for beginners. Actually some of them are not beginning-level easy, but they are basic dances that have been around for a while. You can see my previous post with its videos when you click on Israeli dance https://bethamisr.org/category/israeli-dance/
In Erev Ba, the turn that opens into a double Cherkasiyah, or double crossing, shows up in lots of other dances…
Here is Sham Harei Golan, it has a camel step…
Rona gave the name to the step that starts off this dance.. it’s about a father singing about his little girl… unless we do our Spanish/ Arabic version, in which case Rona becomes a lot older and definitely not a relative.
