Summer Dancing!

Summer folk dancing in Petaluma starts on June 4 and runs through August 6 - Mondays 7-9:15 p.m. at Hermann Sons Hall, 860 Western Avenue, Petaluma.  Cost is $6 per night. No instruction during the summer, we'll just be having fun dancing to old and new favorites plus your requests!

You can drop-in any time at the Israeli folk dance class on Thursday, 1:30-4 p.m., June 7 through July 12, at the Osher Marin Jewish Community Center, 200 San Pedro Road, San Rafael. We'll be dancing familiar oldies including Ma Navu, Erev Ba, and Jacob's Ladder along with  more recent favorites like Enigma, Rokdim Yechefim, and Salamati. I'll be teaching/reviewing Eilat,Yareach Limon, and Mamri'im.

I'm also teaching folk dance to kids ages 6-12 at the Dance Palace Summer Camp in Point Reyes; as I do every year. Some favorite dances from past years include Zemer Atik (Israel), La Mariposa (Bolivia), Huayno (Peru), Syp Simeon (Russia), Cupid Shuffle (U.S.), and Hoe Ana (Tahiti). It's so much fun to get kids excited about folk dancing and to connect with their amazing kid energy.
