I feel like an eternal dance lover as I never stopped pouring my heart into this passion since I started dancing classical ballet at the age of four. I’m a Sacred Circle Dance teacher and a choreographer and my authorial work includes a range of Sacred Circle Dances.
In 2018 I coined the “Jewish Dances” choice of words. Throughout my whole Jewish school life I was an Israeli dancer and contrary to my knowledge of the Sacred Circle Dances I felt the need to distinguish between what is known in the ‘Sacred Circle Dances’ world as “Dances from Israel” and the “Jewish Dances’”. The Dances from Israel are traditional dances from the Kibutzim (plural for Kibutz) or contemporary Israeli songs made into dances by Israeli choreographers whereas the Jewish Dances combine much more than only the origin of the song and the choreographer’s nationality. They bring along the Jewish liturgy with its culture and traditions and they are my work’s main branch.
I also lead Mantras Meditative Sacred Circle Dances workshops. The most recent Jewish Dances workshop is “Ode to Pause”, where the invitation is to live through our body the liturgical atmosphere of the Shabat, the sacred Day of Rest.
I’m also a Psychologist. Fortunately I discovered the Sacred Circle Dances while specializing in Gestalt Therapy in 2010. I’ve been a Sacred Circle Dance teacher since 2013 and I run workshops since 2015. I feel blessed to be able to link these two worlds under a common denominator which makes them even more powerful. I thank this very workshop - The World of Avalon - for this.
I attended several workshops and seminars with Nanni Kloke, Judy King, Stefan Freedman, Renata Ramos, Ahmet Luleci, Gwyn Peterdi, Pablo Scornik, Sergio Malqui, Fleur de Wet, Kyriakos Moisidis, Yves Moreau, Michael Ginsburg, among others. I also participated in Circle Dances Festivals in Brazil and Argentina. I’ve been invited to lead workshops in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Netherlands and Portugal. I’ve also been presenting my work on “The Centrepiece” hosted by Brant Bambery since session 7 - July 2020.
