We rotate partners and do dances more than once, so everyone gets to do every dance, everyone gets to dance the same amount and everyone gets to dance with everyone else. If you come with your spouse and you do not want to rotate, you do not have to. Rotating is your option.
Teaching is based on my book Partnership Dancing(tm).
Rather than memorizing choreography, the women will learn the skill of how to follow every Israeli Partner Dance without learning the steps. This is a good skill to have and is applicable to all social dances, particularly choreographed dances. You will be able to follow other folk dances, including things like Contra Dancing, without having to worry about the patterns.
The men will learn how to make every dance a pleasure by communicating via their body language. You will learn how to get the woman to do what you want by manipulating space, without wrestling the woman around.
There is no gender bias. You can dance which ever part you want.
We will be videoing some of the teaching.
