Our Terrific Team!

Gadi Bitton
Gadi is truly a folkdance legend! If you've previously experienced his creative talent, beautiful dancing, excellent teaching and undeliable charm at a camp or in israel, you know what we mean!
Gadi has choreographed hunreds of dances, with a rare variety of styles and rhythms.
Oh yeah, in addition to his many innovations in the Israeli dance world, Gadi is the Director or the annual Karmiel Dance Festival. Wow!


Yaron Carmel
Yaron is known throughout the Israeli folkdance world for his expert teaching and ability to keep the party going! Whether you’re an experienced dancer or someone relatively new to Israeli folkdance; the type who likes “Top 40” dances or prefers the oldies, Yaron knows how to weave a program of dances together with his almost supernatural ability to keep every dancer happy and on the dance floor!


Almog Ben Ami
We are thrilled to welcome. Almog Ben Ami to Chicago! Almog has been dancing ALMOST as long as he could walk - it's just who he is. He leads sessions in Northern Israel, including one of the most popular harkada in the Haifa area with Yaron Carmel. Almog's programming and fun spirit will help bring great energy to our dance floor. Don't miss your chance to meet and dance with Almog!
