Shorashim Roots of Israeli Folk Dance, NYC, 5 September 2010
Some information from Hayim Kaufman of Rikud in NYC:
The classic folk dances of Israel are created to shiray Eretz Yisrael - the beautiful folk songs related to the Land of Israel. Many of these songs have Eastern European roots.
At Shorashim 2010, in addition to Dani Dassa teaching many of his great classic folk dances, a unique feature this year will be joint workshops by Ayalah Goren and Danny Pollock teaching dances created by choreographers no longer with us. Ayalah will focus on the first generation of choreographers whom she knew personally, including (with a sample popular dance) Leah Bergstein (Shiru Hashir), Zeev Havatzelet (Al Tiruni), (Zvi Friedhaber (Nitzanim), Shalom Hermon (Dayagim), Gurit Kadman (Etz Harimon)), Sara Levi-Tanai (El Ginat Egoz) and Rivka Shturman (Kuma Echa). Danny will teach dances of the next generation including Motti Alfassi (Kan Badarom), Shalom Amar (Bapardes), and Giora Kadmon
(Yeverechicha). Please join us in honoring these greats.
