Hi Everyone,
First off, our thoughts and prayers go out to all friends/family/loved ones in Israel. Please stay safe. Praying for a quick end to the hostilities.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Congratulations to Bruria and Yoram on the opening of the new Israeli Dance session. Hope it works out great. Hope it expands the numbers of people in Chicago who love Israeli dancing!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Here's a link to yet another video of the Flash Mob at the Greater Chicago Jewish Festival. This one was shot by the "Official" camera!

Big thanks go out to all of you who participated and supported this amazing project. Thanks also to Lauren Vogelstein who choreographed the dance and provided the artistic direction. And thanks also to Naomi Bayer and many others from our Festival Committee. Penny and I are very grateful to all of you. Can't wait until the next Festival. Maybe we'll have another surprise then. :o)
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Moving on, Penny and I will once again be presenting Israeli dance workshops at the annual Door County Folk Festival which takes place from July 9-13 in beautiful, you guessed it, Door County. The area is a wonderful vacation/getaway location. And you can opt in or out of as much dancing as you'd like. Check it out. See the brochure below.
CYA on Thursday,
Phil

Thanks to Sarah for reprising Ohad Atiya's fun couple dance, Simanim Shel Ohavim. Here is the link:

Here is a new to us circle dance taught last week, Habayita, by Ilan Swissa. He initially dedicated it to the safe return of the three kidnapped boys. I offer it now in their memory:

Here is a version of La Ventanita, line dance by Alberto Zirlinger, that we did last week:

Here is Dudu Barzilay's big hit from Rikud, Bracha. Not so easy, but not as hard as it looks:

We've worked on it for 3 weeks now. Do you "own it" now? :o)
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
For those who try to find Israeli dance videos on line, I wanted to make sure you know that you can find many of them at:
http://www.rokdim.co.il/rikudim/chipusRikudimOL.asp
You can watch the whole video there on the site. And if you want to download it, you can make arrangements to purchase it there. I do believe that for the most part, once a dance makes it on to the Rokdim site, it is less likely to change than dances published only in other places. This is not an absolute rule of the universe, but in general I believe it is so. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of this resource.
As always, enjoy!

Israeli Dancing in Naperville

Posted on behalf of Diane Toby...
Israeli Dance
Location: Congregation Beth Shalom social hall
Address: 772 West 5th Avenue Naperville, IL 60563
Time: Monday evenings, 7:00 to around 8:30
Cost: CBS members: free. Non-members: one dollar donation appreciated.
Leaders: Diane and Brian Toby. Partner Dance Consultant: Jeff Subeck.
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.
