So much big news. Machol Merkaz registration is now open!!! MACHOLMERKAZ.COM for the info. October 7-10, 2021. Fantastic staff, fantastic setting. People coming from all over. If you want to be in a deluxe room as someone's roommate, register ASAP. There are very few left so please don't delay.
Ok, so Nerenberg is the name of the only building left that has semi-private/private rooms left. And we expect to run out of those too. So please don't delay in registering. (See Building Descriptions).
Oh, and here is the delegation we sent to Hertzeliya to get Eran prepared for Machol Merkaz!
Well, clearly the other big news is Thursday night CID Live and in person is back at Congregation Beth Emet. We started on started on ON JUNE 24TH!!! And we zoomed too (more below about that). Join us on July 15 for our next session in person or online. I am excited that Sarah Rodin will be reviewing her dance, Hakol Od Lefanai. Should be around 8:30 Central. Here is the video for those who would like to do some homework. Hakol Od Lefanai (Video).
If time permits, I plan to teach a lovely circle dance by Dudu Barzilay and Itzik Ben-Dahan called Nedivim. (Thanks Ariane for bringing this one to my attention.) Have a look here: Nedivim. And for partners, I will review Lifnei Kama Dakot by Elad Shtamer.
Here is a look at our new format (and go here to look at the dances we plan to review Dances Taught):
7-9PM: circles/lines (including teaching) The first part will be beginners focused. At some point later in that session, maybe around 8:30 we'll teach a circle dance intended for the general repertoire.
9-11PM: mixed partners/circles sets. We'll teach one partner dance, pretty close to 9 after a few circle dances.
11-11:30PM: ending partners
We plan to continue to broadcast on zoom. And eventually perhaps have guest leaders do some short sets sprinkled in. (We had our first one last week. Thanks so much Jake!) And we are able to have remote people show up on the big screen in our room! We hope to maintain the wonderful connections we have made over the past year to the extent we can. This is a work in progress. We'll see where it goes. For now expect mostly a broadcast with some interactivity too if we can.
OUR INDOOR SESSIONS ARE OPEN ONLY TO THOSE WHO ARE FULLY VAXED. BEFORE YOU COME, PLEASE SEND A PHOTO OF YOUR VACCINATION CARD TO PHIL AT: philip_b_moss@hotmail.com or via my whatsapp at +1 312 519 8669. Many of you have already sent me your cards. Thanks so much. The rest of you, keep them coming.
AS OF THIS WRITING, WE ARE NOT REQUIRED TO MASK IN THE DANCE ROOM!!! ONLY OUTSIDE THE DANCE ROOM!!! We are permitted to have food, but only pre-packaged.
COST: $15 on non-party nights (our costs have gone up significantly) Add a few more bucks on party nights please.
WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU ARRIVE - Enter the building from the parking lot on the west side of the building. Ring the bell and wait to be buzzed in to the inner door. At that point please identify yourself as a dancer and you will be admitted to the building. Please go straight ahead and then down the stairs to the Weiner Room, our dance space (and adjacent to the washrooms we use.) PLEASE DO NOT AT ANY TIME GO TO ANY OTHER PART OF THE BUILDING.
IF YOU ARRIVE AFTER 10:30 WE MAY NOT NOTICE YOU AND BE ABLE LET YOU IN. IF THAT HAPPENS, TRY TEXTING OR WHATSAPPING PHIL AT 312.519.8669, AND PLEASE BE PATIENT.
Stay tuned for further information. Can't wait be together with everyone in our dance home!

LAST WEEK 7/8 (AND RECORDINGS)
The fun continued last week both live and on Zoom. It is so great to be able to dance in person together again.
Again, thanks again to all those from all over who joined us on Zoom. More than 60 people logged in yet again! It was so great to see you, display you on the big screen and interact with you. I truly hope that those of you who cannot dance with us physically in Chicago will continue to be with us in the zoom. Wishing you all health, safety and happy dancing!
BTW, we are getting close to being able to have some remote guest leadership. Stay tuned for that. We are still working on sorting out our technical issues and have made a lot of progress. (Thanks to Stuart and Jake for your help!!!)

Shira will teach/review one or two dances for the first half hour. Then, from about 6:30 to about 8:00 we do circle dances. For the rest of the evening we switch to partner dances. We also plan on a monthly Special Partner Dance workshop on a Saturday from 5:30 - 7:30, with dates to be announced.
Here is the link: zoom link Meeting ID: 831 0590 8998 Passcode: MNRoked

HARKALIVE is an international community of Israeli Dancing (and soon other dance styles!) with live and on-demand classes on a subscription model.
The platform is like a kind of Netflix but for dance. All members of Harkalive can join any of the weekly live sessions and have access to a library of over 40 hours of on-demand content including:
- Past sessions recordings
- Playlists, music, and videos of new dances
- Interviews with other choreographers
- Community Whatsapp group
- Special events
Here is the link to the website: https://harkalive.com
Live sessions are Mondays at 6.30 pm (Eastern time) General Level with Marina Halsman, Wednesdays at 2:30 pm (Eastern time) General level with Ilai Szpiezak, and Thursdays at 3:00 pm (Eastern time) Beginners with Ilai Szpiezak.
The idea is that if someone signs up, they can join any classes they want without spending anything more and we are able to support teachers to work while dancers can enjoy great dancing.
Dance should be available to everyone regardless of the location, level, and schedule and have the possibility to enjoy a great new way of dancing together.
Thanks!
