The Beginners’ Israeli dance class at the Bathurst Jewish Community strives to introduce students to a variety of well known Israeli dances that are done in Israeli dance groups everywhere. Through participating in our classes, students will gain a working knowledge of Israeli dance terminology, and will develop confidence in dance movement and rhythm.

Each week students will learn new dances and review old ones. Teaching will be geared to individuals with minimal or no dance experience. We will progress at a pace comfortable to the group. Dances will be broken down into small sections and taught thoroughly with constant teacher demonstration. As your repertoire increases you will be encouraged to request dances that were taught in earlier sessions.

Wear comfortable clothing and flat shoes such as sport shoes. There will be a short refreshment break to enable students and teachers to get to know one another better. You may wish to bring a water bottle.

Experience a very friendly, relaxing and supportive atmosphere while you learn a new skill that will give you enjoyment for years to come.
