Wherever the Jewish people have lived, they have danced! And this is still true! This year, the Israel Folkdance Festival welcomes performing groups from Canada and Brazil who will join dancers from Boston and the Eastern United States. In a show of unity across the Jewish community, the Israel Folkdance Festival finale will be a piece jointly choreographed with the Israeli Dance Festival DC and performed at both festivals.
Both Israeli dance festivals unite the diverse strands of Jewish heritage on stage, but this year’s festivals will also symbolize the strength and solidarity of the communities separated only by distance. Hundreds of dancers, children and teens, college students and adults, will dance together at the end of each festival in a moving final unified piece. Find more information at bostonfestival.org.
