Ma’agal, hosted by Camp Alonim just outside Los Angeles, CA on May 26-28, 2015, is a unique opportunity for rikud specialists from Jewish camps of all kinds — from the dance-obsessed to “what does rikud mean again?” (it means dance!) — to learn everything they need to take their camp's Israeli dance programs to the next level. Connect with a new community of Israeli dance professionals and be part of a growing network that will exist throughout the summer and for summers to come.

 

What will you learn at Ma'agal 2015?

  • Repertoire – some great dances to teach

  • Techniques – tips for how to teach them

  • Israeli dance as a vehicle for teaching Israel, Judaism, community, Hebrew...

  • History – why Israeli dance is what it is and who helped make it that way

  • Younger kids – different dances, different techniques

  • Technology – how to best use your audio equipment, dj software, etc.

  • Rikkudiah! – how to put Israeli dance on stage

  • The larger circle – connect to Israeli dance in the world outside of camp

  • Inclusion – safe spaces for differently-abled dancers, gender-safe vocabulary, etc.

Ma'agal is made possible by generous contributions from the Foundation for Jewish Camp
