Welcome!

If you are interested in Israeli dancing workshops of any kind for any age, please head over to Ma’agal! This site is going away, but for now, here are the resources for a handful of really good dances for kids, at camp or in other settings.

If any of the dances below are useful to you, please use them and let me know what else would be helpful to add. (When possible, each page below includes a teaching video, a demonstration video with the music, and links to the lyrics and the mp3! I will keep adding more as they are requested.)

Looking for the movements to the 2026 Cornerstone song “This Holiness (Kadosh Kadosh Kadosh)”? Video here!

The classic circles (the original and truest Israeli folkdances!):

Here are two dances for the very youngest dancers:

And two harder “real” Israeli dances, also great for beginners and camps (not because they are so easy, but because they are fun and motivating and worth the effort!):

There are many Israeli dance videos all over the internet. A good place to start to find more classic circles is Gadi Bitton’s Beginner Series.

If you’re an Israeli dance teacher for a summer or a lifetime, get in touch! I’d love to connect.

If you’re a shaliach or shalicha – before you come to the US – GO DANCING! Remember that every session (הרקדה) is different, so try a few or check with me first about which is the best one in your area. If you can only go to one, go to Gadi Bitton’s session at Tel Aviv University on a Thursday night. In Jerusalem, go to Yaron Ben-Simchon. In the North, try Yaron Carmel. Always introduce yourself to the markid, tell him that you know me (Erica Goldman!) and tell him what you are doing this summer.

Thanks 🙂
