Online Israeli Folk Dance with Ira

Dear Friends,

Get your dance on and get ready for another fun session. You will see me on the dance floor. Here is the link you need to dance with us live: www.facebook.com/dancewithira

Good News for those of you who do not do Facebook. I will upload the class on Youtube after the Live session and email everyone the link, so you can take the class as often as you like after the live session ends.

When you tune in to each class, you can interact with us and hundreds of dancers around the world in the chat area. Please check in and let us know you are there and where you are located, so we and others can connect with you. You never know who you might meet. It is fun to interact with each other in-between the dances and or teaches.

I begin each class with Beginner dances for our newer dancers and those who like to warm up with me. If there is a particular dance you would like to learn or review, let me know. I have received a few requests this week which I have added to this week’s playlist. Print it out and then you can follow along.

We will go live 5 or 10 minutes before so we can do a sound check together and make this the best virtual experience possible. Be sure to set your airplane mode on before the class begins so you do not get cut off or interrupted during the class. Have bottled water handy and you can provide your own snacks.

I am overwhelmed by the generosity and kindness of the line dance community. You are making such a difference in my life and the lives of so many of my fellow choreographers. Your encouragement and support goes way beyond our wildest expectations. You need to know that we will never forget how you helped us all get through this pandemic and that we will always be there for you.

If you would like to make a donation to keep the Tuesday NuLINE Dance Class free to everyone, go here: www.paypal.me/dancewithira

If you do not have Paypal, you can either mail in your donation or do a bank wire directly to the account. For mailing address or bank information, email me privately at: dancewithira@comcast.net

20% of the proceeds from your donations will benefit the LDF (Line Dance Foundation) a charity set up to help choreographers and instructors like myself who have lost their major source of income teaching and choreographing Line Dances. Even the smallest donations are making a difference. The Line dance community has always been there in the best of times and in the worst of times. Thank you for helping me and my colleagues and friends. Your support means more than you can imagine and together we will keep our love of line dancing alive.

Can not wait to see you on the dance floor.

Please share.

Stay Safe,
Ira
