Seattle Israeli Dance (originally He'Ari Israeli Folkdance) has held weekly dance sessions since 1962.  We do the latest dances from the top choreographers in Israel and around the world, as well keeping alive some of the wonderful older dances.  Lots of circle dances are intermixed with short partner sets.  Along with plenty of open dancing, we generally teach or review a dance  each week.  Dancing and learning new choreography is great exercise for the mind and the body, and the music lifts your spirit.

​

Although all levels of dancers are welcome, we are primarily an intermediate/advanced session. Each evening begins with a half hour warm-up of beginning/intermediate dances.  

​

We dance in a beautiful 2000 square foot ballroom with  hardwood floors.  Please wear non-marking dance or athletic shoes and comfortable attire.
