Rikud Brooklyn: Israeli Dance Winter Semester 2025

Rikud Brooklyn is back for a new winter semester!

Join us this winter in Carroll Gardens to be a part of the circle, move, and be moved!  Whether you’re graceful, awkward, or somewhere in between, Israeli dance is slow and fast and energetic and graceful and fun... and more meaningful than you might know!  You don't have to know a dance to do a dance! No experience necessary: really!

1. Wednesday, January 22nd - INTRO SESSION/REFRESHER**
2. Wednesday, January 29th
3. Wednesday, February 5th
4.  Wednesday, February 12th

**Wednesday, January 22nd will be an Introductory session to get you comfortable in your dancing shoes and ready for a new semester of dancing and moving together.  If you danced with us in December, you can choose to join as a refresher (*disclaimer: Erica may fully repeat jokes and kindly requests that you not judge!)
