Ilai Szpiezak
Ilai Szpiezak was born in Buenos Aires (Argentina) in 1990. The family emigrated to Israel in 1992, but returned to Argentina only three years later. Since the age of 17 he has been teaching and working as an instructor and choreographer, albeit after completing the Israeli folk dance teaching course in Buenos Aires and receiving a diploma with honours. At the age of 20 the former ballet dancer moved to London receiving the position as a dance development manager and artistic director for an Israeli dance institute. In 2014 Szpeizak graduated from The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama with a Master Degree in Creative Producing. He is currently based in London where he runs his entertainment production company: Upstage Creative Ltd. Ilai's expertise is to produce, create and perform extensively both in the United Kingdom and abroad - everything from musicals to immersive circus experiences, from international dance festivals to charity concerts. This includes performances at the Royal Albert Hall, the Greenwich Theatre, and the Waterloo Vaults in London. He remains in demand internationally as a dance choreographer who worked so far in more than fifteen countries in Europe and North America teaching Rikudei-Am (Israeli folk dance) and creating new dances for workshops and festivals for both Israel and the Diaspora. He also runs a weekly Israeli Dance class and performing troupe in London. He is one of the choreographers and markidim (dance instructors) from the new generation of Rikudei Am (Israeli folk dancing) and choreographed so far more than seventy dances such as Le Le (2014), Am Israel Chai and Nigun Alma (both 2016). Be-Reshith (first place in the "Mitz'ad" at the Karmiel Festival 2019, together with Sharon Elkaslassy), Bo lo Nevather, and Lo Mevather al ha-Khalom (all 2018), as well as Medabrim be-Sheqet (second place in the competition of new dances in Karmiel Festival 2019). His high energy and precise teaching will keep you on the dance floor all night long! On our 25th Machol Germania he will teach some of his own dances as well as several creations of his colleagues. The lessons are (as always) in easily understandable English. For a complete list of all dances by Ilai Spziezak please click here, of course with thanks to the operator Jewish Australia.
