Israeli Folk Dancing: Great cardio activity that provides exercise for mind and body

What, you’ve never tried Israeli folk dancing???  Well, it’s about time you did!  The awesome benefits are great music from Israel and all over the world, good exercise for mind and body, and wonderful camaraderie.  Some of us are Jewish, some are not – what unites is our love for dance.   

One of our dancers, Sharon Morrow, says, “Israeli folk dancing expresses the love and heart of the Jewish people. It doesn’t matter if you can’t dance or can’t dance well. Just get up and dance. It’s worth the effort.”

No risk at all – just come and try it!  If you have never or rarely danced, come on Wed. night when Judy begins each session with instruction for new dancers.  If you are a dancer who hasn’t danced for years?  Come on back - and try either the Wednesday or the Friday group.
