Israeli Folk Dancing

Israeli Folk Dancing classes and request dancing

Twice a month, 7:00 pm Monday evenings, we meet to learn some dances and take requests. Free to Beth Ami members, and open to the community as well. If you are not a member, please email or phone the office to let us know you would like to participate. We have a pushke out for donations from non-members. $8 is suggested but no one is turned away for lack of funds.

In fact, you can probably find groups of israeli dancers to join almost anywhere in the world:
