RDR UPDATE:WEEKEND WORKSHOPS-PURIM PARTY-NEW WEBSITE & E-MAIL (fwd)

[H. Kaufman <hkaufman...>]

For those who will be in the NYC area, this Rikuday Dor Rishon Update may
be of interest (especially the Purim party -- with a live band playing
Purim tunes as well as traditional Israeli folk music for dancing).

                LAST CHANCE TO LEARN THE BEST OF BENTZI'S DANCES

                     Saturday & Sunday March 11 & 12 @ 7pm

The final Special Workshops on the Dances of Bentzi Tiram taught by guest
teacher from Israel, Moshe Oron will take place over the March 11-12
weekend.  There will be a review of all the dances taught the previous
weekend (in case you missed it) and several additional dances of Bentzi
will be introduced by Moshe before he returns to Israel.

                A LITTLE ABOUT BENTZI

During his career as a choreographer Bentzi Tiram created over 80 dances,
including Al Sadenu, Ba'ah Menuchah, Bet Avi, Bo Elai, Debka Ud, Emek
Sheli, Hahar Hayarok, Haperach B'gani, Hora Hadasha, Machmad L'vavi,
Mechol Hamitpachat, Nigunim, Shuva Elai and Zot Yerushalayim -- just to
name a few.  Last year a weekend at Kibbutz Bet Hashita was dedicated to
teaching the dances of Bentzi Tiram (to be reported in the next issue of
Nirkoda).  Moshe Oron organized this weekend with support from Moshe Telem
(who produced a new CD) and Yehuda Emanuel (who prepared a video).  As a
protege of Bentzi, Moshe will be the featured teacher at the series of
workshops and will have a limited number of the new CD and video of
Bentzi's dances available with him, for those who are interested in
acquiring them (priority will be given to those attending the workshops).

All workshops include open dancing, with requests welcomed.
