Video of the Week

Leaving this up in case you still want to review it. The video of the week is Bo'i Shoshana, circle dance by Rafi Ziv. This dance, presented a few weeks ago, is yet another production to teach/learn, but it seems to be enjoying good popularity and it is worth it. For those who like to know these things, here is the sequence :o)

Part I, Part I

Part II, Part II

Part III

Interlude (Transition) I

Part I, Part III

Interlude (Transition) II

Part III' (i.e., the start of Part III)

Part III

Ending

Seems pretty straightforward to me. :o) Oh and here is a link:

FWIW, be aware that is is yet another Rafi dance that he changed subsequent to initial publication. The link above shows the "final" version and is the one we taught.

****************************************************************

A few weeks ago, we reprised Yisrael Yakovee's now classic Yemenite Rap. Premiered at Chagigah 2001, it was an instant hit.

This link will get you to a copy of the official version (but the link will expire so don't tarry if you are interested):

This is the way it was originally presented (you'll note some changes at the end):

*******************************************************

Here is the partner dance from a few weeks ago, Cada Dia, a beautiful song sung by Marta Gomez (Kol Mila) with Idan Raichel. Easy and pretty. To enjoy this one, you'll need to download it:

For more information contact dtoby(at)comcast.net or bhtoby(at)comcast.net.

Join our friendly group to connect with Israeli culture, enjoy some physical activity and sharpen your memory through Israeli folk dancing. We do plenty of circle and line dances, with some partner dances mixed in.

Most of the dances we do are beginner/intermediate level. All ages and experience levels are welcome, including children accompanied by a parent.

We meet almost every Monday with dances for beginners from 7 pm to 7:45 pm and then move on to intermediate dances until around 8:30. When time permits, we take a few requests from 8:30 to 8:45. Visitors are always welcome. Our regular dancers love to watch the more advanced dances. If visiting from out of town, we'll play requests if you tell us ahead of time.

Our partner dance repertoire is small and still growing. Women are encouraged (but not required) to learn both parts. The etiquette in our group is partner switching/partner rotation.

Open to the community. For security purposes, we ask that people joining for the first time contact the CBS office at (630) 961-1818, and ask for Dorothy, to let us know you are coming, and to make sure that we are meeting on that date.
