Dany taught some fabulous dances - a mix of old and new. We had separate workshops for beginners to low-intermediate,and for intermediate to advanced dancers. Dany taught with clarity, with humour, and with style. We have had excellent feedback from all of the dancers who participated.

With so many of our own dancers away overseas, (mostly enjoying Yom Ha atzmaut celebrations in Israel!) we would particularly like to thank the teachers and our dancing friends from Hora and Machol for participating & to help us make Dany feel so welcome in his first visit to Melbourne.
