Our Israeli dancing classes are on hiatus as of January 2015.
Come to Parkway Jewish Center for beginners’ Israeli dance classes on the third Tuesday of each month. We have a terrific experienced teacher, Lynn Berman, for these classes. There is a small charge of $5 per student per class. Our classes are accompanied by an open band, so please invite your friends who want to come and play instruments. Click here for directions. If you want to bring your instrument and play with the band, contact Cantor Shapiro to get the music.
