Israeli dance has taken on new meaning and dimension for many of our students. For the past six years, we have been introducing and imbuing our students with a love of Israeli dance as part of a JCC initiative, driven with passion by Debbie Tabenkin. At present, we have five different groups running on different days of the week and taught by a number of dedicated instructors who themselves have a profound love of Israeli dance. They hope to impart this love to a new generation of dancers. Their enthusiasm and spirit are contagious!In the spring, every dancer has the opportunity to share their repertoire of traditional and modern dances in the annual Vancouver Israeli Dance Festival, also known as “Festival HaRikud” held at the JCC. Our students also perform at various school functions. No payment is required to participate (aside from a $25 costume fee); however, registration through the JCC is mandatory.
