New Schedule Has Begun

Yes! The new Pre-Alef (Introduction) class started yesterday Shabbat, February 13, just a little after noon and we had a great time. Around 10 people attended the class and most learned their very first Israeli dance for worship. After the Introduction class, advanced dancers also enjoyed a dance practice time. It was a blessed time in the Presence of our God.

Info for New Dance Class Students:

I want to welcome all those who attended the class and encourage you to continue coming. Also, please remember to SIGN UP to 'Get Announcements by Email.' In addition, I need you to fill out the very short Intro Class Free Registration form asap.

As a reminder, I think it will be helpful if I mention here how to navigate the Pre-Alef online resources:

1. In the navigation bar on your right, scroll down to the section titled 'ClassZone' and click on the 'Pre-Alef / Introduction' link to enter the class page.
2. Under the page title, you will see a small list of resources that are available to you. The first important thing on this list is the Online Syllabus where you will find, among other things, my contact info and--on the second page--the Class Outline listing the dances in the order I will be teaching them. 
3. The next important thing in this section are the Dance Notes, where you will find short choreography notes to the dances you have learnt or will learn, also in the order I will teach them. The codes used are simple and meanings are listed at the bottom of the page and at the end of the second page.
4. After these resources, you will see the 'List of Pre-Alef Level Dances in Alphabetical Order.' After each song name there is a link you can click on to hear that song. You can use this to practice the dance to music.

Finally, I want to remind you that if you need me (or Ali, whoever is available) to quickly review a dance with you on the off week (the Shabbat between classes,) then just let us know.
