New York’s most exciting Israeli folk dancing session meets every Thursday at Manhattan Country School, 150 W 85 St in Manhattan. Lifelong New Yorkers Rina Rinkewich and Ilan Birnbaum are your markidim (teachers / session leaders).
We teach beginner and intermediate repertoire dances from 7:30-8:15pm. From 8:15-11:30pm we alternate circle and partner sets (first partner set is at 9pm) as well as line dances including teaching of intermediate and advanced dances.
Israeli folk dancing is fun, challenging, social, great exercise... there are so many reasons to give it a try!
Admission is $20, or $10 for age 30 and under.
PLEASE NOTE that after 9:15pm each night, the front door will be locked. Anyone wishing to enter must call or text a dancer inside to come downstairs and open the door. For simplicity (and for more dancing!) we recommend arriving by 9:15pm.
