Bamachol Dance Program
What We Offer
Bamachol, which means “in the dance” in Hebrew, brings the Israeli concept of a dance academy to the Michael-Ann Russell JCC. The combination of Israeli Dance, Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, Flamenco, and Hip-Hop offers a total experience in the diversity of dance styles.
Available Programs
Maintaining Jewish culture and tradition is the goal of Rikudim—circle and line dances. Our students learn Rikudim and dance choreographies throughout the year in a fun, energetic, and supportive environment.
Directed by Joanne "Poki" Niego and Assistant Director Misha Meler, our dance classes and audition-based teams are locally acclaimed. Over six years, our teams consistently win first place in regional competitions and rank highly in nationals. Students shine in winter showcases and year-end recitals, celebrating their growth and success.
Join our energizing and uplifting summer adult Israeli Dance Days & Nights. Please approach the instructor in class to purchase a class card.
