FROM ROBIN LOWITZ:
Due to many concerns voiced about dancing on the rug at CST- so in the hope that we can spirit back those people who want to dance but are uncomfortable dancing on the rug- the tentative plan is to dance on the 1st and 3rd Monday evenings at Beth Ami, ( in addition to 2nd and 4th Wednesdays at Shomrei Torah CST.) ***This way, we’ll have Israeli dancing once a week! This schedule may change over time, but it’s a good start! Thanks everyone, for helping to revive Israeli dance in SoCty!
