Israeli Dancing for Women

Leave a Comment

I am planning to start a women’s dance group, probably after the Chagim, at Mika’s Wig Boutique on Sunday afternoons. We would start with basic steps, progress to easy dances and add intermediate and advanced dances. Requests for specific dances are encouraged. Please call or message me if you are interested.
