Hi Everyone,
We had a great virtual session last week. Thanks to all who joined. Can't wait till Thursday!!
The Corona Virus and Its Impact on Chicago Israeli Dancing
For the most part, as I look around the country, and the world for that matter, almost all sessions have cancelled. So, we're now looking forward to our third ever virtual dance on 4/2/20. (Meeting details are above).
Speaking of the virus, here are a few videos for your viewing pleasure 😉😉

In the coming attractions department, save the dates of April 13-14th. Chicago Israeli Dancing - Virtual will host a "Worldwide Israeli Dance Marathon - The 24 Hours of Israeli Dance." More to come on this exciting event!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
I'd like to share a few videos now that have recently come my way:
The first is from Galit who shared this inspirational video of a virtual Israeli Dance festival performance from Mexico Anajnu Veatem
And then this from Vered Negbi:
"Hi Phil,
I hope things are going well for you in these crazy days. I continue to get your emails, remembering our meeting in Chicago long time ago when I joined your dancing session once.
I'm doing well so far. On a break from learning how to be a teacher of Israeli folk dancing!
During the course we had 2 assignments and I decided to prepare videos for them. Maybe now you guys have more time to watch them (both in hebrew)...
[The first is a look at Israeli dancing in Israeli today and how we got there. The second is a tribute to Tuvia Tischler. If you go 7:21 in on this one, you'll see a dance called Od Yagi'a Yom that I never got around to teaching but liked it a lot when I learned it. Phil]

Miss you guys.
Say hello to everyone online (I'm working online when you have your virtual sessions so I cannot join).
Stay strong. Hope to see you soon dancing.
Vered"
