It's been a while since we've had a theme at Nirkoda!, so this month, we're celebrating the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Wear something appropriate. For example...
Add these to your calendar for Nirkoda! fun in the next 11 months...
Etz Chayim had to cancel on us due to floor maintenance. For July 16, 2016 only, we're going back to Stanford Hillel (yes, that's where Nirkoda! used to be until 2012). Details:
I will be teaching Israeli dance at Limmud Bay Area, so Latishya will be running the June 25, 2016, Nirkoda! session. Aside from being an accomplished dancers, which you all know, she performed, taught, and DJed in Boston before coming to the Bay Area. She's going to run a wonderful session, so make sure to be there!
We are now accepting credit cards or PayPal for regular session. Note that a 60 cent fee is added to cover the cost of credit card processing. You can either pay on this website, or you can ask Aaron to swipe your credit card at the session.
Come join us on March 12 for a special oldies party. We'll be joined by a special guest — long time Israeli dance teacher Dale Alpert! All dances will be older than Aaron (that means before 1988).
I'm pleased and excited to announce that Karina, Loui, and I will be putting on an End-of-the-Year Party! We know that you can't go two weeks without Israeli dancing, and with the Sunnyvale CC and Palo Alto JCC closures, you'll go crazy without your Israeli dance fix. So, the three of us are co-hosting a party on Monday, December 21, and we hope you'll join us!
Location: Congregation Etz Chayim (where I usually do Nirkoda! parties)
4161 Alma Street, Palo Alto
Cost: $10
When: Mon., Dec. 21, 2015, 8:30-11:30 PM
Take a look here for the newest batch of Nirkoda! dates. Note that September's party moved a week later to the 26th (I'm going to a wedding the week before). Still working on December and January dates, but those should be finalized soon. Of course, don't forget that next month (June 13, 2015) we have Sagi Azran visiting!
I'm very excited to announce that SAGI AZRAN will be joining us as a special guest teacher on June 13, 2015. Sagi is originally from Israel but now lives in Los Angeles. He runs two weekly sessions, and this year started the fantastically successful MachoLA dance camp. He's also the the choreographer of two dances that we have quickly embraced as favorites — At K'mo Ha'ruach and Hi Lo At.
I'm adding June 13, 2015, to the list of Nirkoda! dates for next year.
