Welcome to Israeli Dancing of Ann Arbor!

Who are we?

We are a group of Israeli dance lovers from Ann Arbor, West Bloomfield and the greater Detroit area. We meet every Thursday evening at 7:30 PM for two and a half hours of fun, music and dance.  The dancers’ ages vary between 8 and 88. Among the dancers are students, professors, locals, and visitors from all over the world. We welcome beginners, intermediate and advanced dancers of all ages!

Where do we dance?

In the gym of the Ann Arbor JCC

 2935 Birch Hollow Dr., Ann Arbor, MI 48108

When?

Every Thursday at 7:30 PM

What?

Our schedule and play list varies every week, and it changes throughout the evening. We dance a mixture of old and new, slow and fast, circle and line dances. We bring to our sessions the latest dances taught in Israel and the USA.

7:30 – 8:00 PM

Easy slow dances that most beginners can do without a lot of instruction. New beginners are always welcome to join.

8:00 - 8:30 PM

1 or 2 easier dances will be taught or reviewed.

8:30 - 10:00 PM

Usually 1 or 2 intermediate/advanced dances are taught or reviewed. Dances are usually taught one week and reviewed the following weeks. In addition, we are open for requests throughout the evening.

Who runs the show?

This is the unique character of our group: It belongs to everyone! This is a community effort, and all the participants are volunteers who do it for fun. Amnon is the DJ, but the floor is open for requests. Cheryl is the dance instructor, but everyone is welcome to suggest any new dance and teach it!
