Post Description

Moshiko (Moshe Yitzhak Halevy) was brought up in a traditional Yemenite family from Jaffa and began his professional dance career at age 17, mastering all forms of dance including classical, modern, jazz and tap. Moshiko joined the Inbal Dance Theater at the recommendation of choreographer Jerome Robbins, where he became its principle male soloist and began to explore his own ethnic dance traditions. He choreographed his first dance in 1959, Debka Uriya (named after his first son), which was a prize winner at an international folk dance competition in Europe and remains a popular favorite throughout the world. Moshiko was greatly influenced by the various ethnic groups in Israel, integrating their movements and styles into his folk dance choreographies. For over 40 years, Moshiko has been invited throughout the world, bringing his unique and highly disciplined teaching approach that encourages dancers to master his often intricate choreographies based on Israeli folk and ethnic dance traditions. In addition to Debka Uria, other long-established Moshiko folk dance classics include Bosmat, Debka Beduit, Debka Kna'an, B'tof U'ztlil, Hahelech, Hora Yamit, Ki Hivshilu, Mechol Hadvash, Mishal, Tfilat Hashachar, Ya Abud, Yililat Haruach & Zafe, just to name a few. This is the first appearance by Moshiko at Shorashim and we are very pleased to have the opportunity to review and learn his classic dances from the master himself. We are also honored that Moshiko comes to us as the elected head for this year of the Irgun Hamadrichim L'rikuday Am (Organization of Folk Dance Leaders), which represents those who teach and/or run sessions of Israeli folk dancing in Israel.

Helaas niet een heel hoge bittrate...
Te spotten in NZBINDEX en Yabsearch.
Veel plezier ermee.
