37th workshop: January 21 - 22, 2012

Sagi Azran Sagi Azran, a young and energetic choreographer, born in Tel Aviv and today 24 years old, started to dance at the age of seven in differnt dance sessions in the Tel Aviv area. By the time he was nine, he already taught dances in selected sessions around Israel. Soon he discovered that he liked being an Israeli dance instructor, and he has been one since then. Dancers from Eastern Europe may remember him from two dance camps, namely Machol Hungaria (2006) and Machol Romania (2011). Among his better known own choreographies, so far close to 40, are Mal'achim Ba-Shamayim (2005), Siasamba (a line/block dance, also 2005), Mekhol Ha-Saharane (2007), taught in Munich by Meir Amsalem in 2009, or Dada Bia (2010), as taught in Pappenheim 2011. Today Sagi leads a movement called "Ru'akh Ne'urim" (= Youth Spirit), which its main goal to get more younger dancers into the Israeli folk dancing scene. So far he already assembled around 400 young dancers around Israel! The group has its own facebook site, which can be freely joined.

The instructions will be - as always - in English.

38th workshop: April 28 - 29, 2012

Dudu Barzilai Almost 13 years passed since Dudu Barzilai held his first seminar in Germany, needless to say that back then it was organized by the Israelisches Tanzhaus. Since then, we talk about the year 1999, we never had any doubts to invite him for a second time! So we eventually did... The 37-year old Barzilai certainly represents the so-called "new generation" of Israeli folk dance at its best. Since his childhood he was in touch with that kind of dances and back in 1995 his father Mishael, born into a Yemenite family, held already a seminar in Munich. Around the year 1993 he started to create his first own dances, among them the Yemenite influenced Bila Yanas (1993) and the ever popular Debka Inbar (1995). More were to follow, like Methuqim (1998, together with Avi Levy), the fantastic Darbashiyah (2002, together with Yankele Ziv and the music by Essev Bar), El ha-Or (2003), Mi Yohav Othach Kamoni (2004), and some more recent choreographies like Me'ohav Ad Hashamayim (2010), or Ma Qoreh Ithach (2011). No doubt, one should not forget to mention some of his popular partner dances like Metziyuth Akhereth (2005) or Shoshanath Sfarad (2000). Dudu Barzilai's weekly dance sessions in and around Tel Aviv belong to the most popular ones in central Israel, especially the one conducted with his father Misha'el in the Ha-Thiqwah quarter on Sundays. He will teach some of his latest creations as well as some older dances. Please click here for a complete list of Dudu Barzilai's dances, courtesy of Jewish Australia. The instructions will be - as always - in English.
