Israeli, International and Line Online Dancing with Ira Weisburd

Dear Friends,

Diane and I, like many of you have been in isolation for a month now. It’s so surreal, isn’t it? Every day that goes by, I want to be hopeful, but all I hear from my friends around the world and the experts is pure speculation about when and whether we will return to some sort of new normalcy. That is why I (we) must keep dancing !! It’s the only thing that keeps us all healthy and connected during this pandemic.

Creating and implementing Virtual On-Line Dancing is no easy task. A great deal of research and testing has gone into what you see and hear on your computer or mobile device. Preparing these classes before going “Live” is more than just preparing a playlist. I have to be able to teach and lead every dance from beginning to end “solo” without the help of my assistant Henry Lederfiend 😉 or Suzanne or Henia !! So, if you think it’s easy, think again. LOL !!

After testing Zoom and other means of broadcasting, I decided to use Facebook, since people were more familiar with it and there was no limit to the number of participants. I also found the video quality, sound and synchronization over all was superior. I am using my facebook page to provide these classes as a FREE service to dancers all over the world. It is my way of thanking all of you for your support throughout the years, for attending my classes here at home, around the USA and abroad. I also want to thank you for your feedback. Many of you have expressed to me how much the virtual class means to you at a time like this. As long as you continue to enjoy the classes, I will continue working hard and give you my all.

The Playlist for Monday, April 13th is posted on my facebook page and on this email (see attachment) !! The first 6 dances in blue will be taught during the first 45 minutes to introduce beginners to Israeli Dance. There will be 3 Sets of Open Dancing in black where we dance some of your favorite requests and a couple of teaches and reviews in blue between the sets.

GET YOUR DANCE ON and GET READY for another FUN Session !! DON'T FORGET TO SHARE !! You'll see me on the dancefloor !! I'll be there with you every dance of the way !! Check the times below in your region.

7pm in Florida all across the Eastern Seaboard, Montreal, Ottawa & Toronto, Canada
6pm in Texas & Chicago
4pm in California, Las Vegas, Seattle, Vancouver
7am Tuesday morning in Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Singapore, Malaysia and Perth W. Australia
9am Tuesday morning in Sydney & Melbourne Australia, 11am Tuesday morning in New Zealand.

Here is the link you need to dance with us LIVE:
https://www.facebook.com/dancewithira

I will also post the class video on my facebook page, so you can take the class as often as you like after the “live” session ends. When you tune in each Monday night, you can interact with us and hundreds of dancers around the world in the chat area. Please check in and let us know you’re there and where you’re located, so we and others can connect with you. You never know who you might meet. It’s FUN to interact with each other and in-between dances and or teaches.

I begin each class with Beginner dances for our newer dancers and those who like to warm up with me. If there is a particular dance you would like to learn or review, let me know. I have received a few requests this week which I have added to tonight’s playlist. Print it out and then you can follow along.

We will go live 5 or 10 minutes before 7pm to say hi to everyone. Have bottled water handy and you can provide your own snacks 😉

If you would like to make a donation to help me keep Monday night Israeli dancing available ie. FREE to everyone, click on this link: www.paypal.me/dancewithira 20% of the proceeds from your donations will benefit the (JFS) Jewish Family Services to help Jewish families impacted by this pandemic. Even the smallest donations are making a difference.

Can’t wait to see you on the dancefloor !

PLEASE SHARE !!

Virtually yours,
Ira

P.S. You are also invited to join me on Tuesday Mornings for a Virtual Line Dance Class at 10:30am and a Saturday Afternoon Balkan & International Folk Dance Class at 1pm on my facebook page.
