We hope you dance!
Did you make a new year’s resolution on January 1st to begin exercising to work off extra pounds from holiday eating, but haven’t started yet? Stores all have sales on exercise equipment, but why not try Israeli folk dancing? No equipment needed except a comfortable pair of shoes. And no experience needed in the beginner’s group at all. The benefits of Israeli folk dancing 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 us 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.”
One night as I was driving home from dancing, I heard the beautiful song “I Hope You Dance,” sung by Lee Ann Womack and written by a neighbor of mine. Listen to the song and take the risk of trying Israeli folk dancing with us this year. Judy and I and all the other dancers will be so happy you decided to dance. We are the most welcoming group in town. And you’ll be so glad you did!
