We have new dates through the end of 2017. Mark your calendars!
Show off your Nirkoda! Israeli dance pride with one of our new t-shirts, only $5! Available at Nirkoda! Israeli dance parties while supplies last.
Don't miss the premiere Nirkoda Ba'Kerem—an Israeli Dance Camp and Wine Tasting Adventure! We have a great staff lined up (Yaron Malihi, Mitch Ginsburgh, DJ Shirley Smith) and a whole bunch of fun, including an on-site, curated wine tasting. Head on over to this page for all the details and registration info.
Shirley Smith ran the Thursday night session in Palo Alto for 9 years, and I'm happy to announce she'll be coming up for a reunion party at Nirkoda! on March 18, 2017. Join us for a great night featuring your favorite dances, new and old!

It's been a while since we've had a theme at Nirkoda!, so this month, we're celebrating the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Wear something appropriate. For example...
Add these to your calendar for Nirkoda! fun in the next 11 months...
Etz Chayim had to cancel on us due to floor maintenance. For July 16, 2016 only, we're going back to Stanford Hillel (yes, that's where Nirkoda! used to be until 2012). Details:
I will be teaching Israeli dance at Limmud Bay Area, so Latishya will be running the June 25, 2016, Nirkoda! session. Aside from being an accomplished dancers, which you all know, she performed, taught, and DJed in Boston before coming to the Bay Area. She's going to run a wonderful session, so make sure to be there!
We are now accepting credit cards or PayPal for regular session. Note that a 60 cent fee is added to cover the cost of credit card processing. You can either pay on this website, or you can ask Aaron to swipe your credit card at the session.
Come join us on March 12 for a special oldies party. We'll be joined by a special guest — long time Israeli dance teacher Dale Alpert! All dances will be older than Aaron (that means before 1988).
I'm pleased and excited to announce that Karina, Loui, and I will be putting on an End-of-the-Year Party! We know that you can't go two weeks without Israeli dancing, and with the Sunnyvale CC and Palo Alto JCC closures, you'll go crazy without your Israeli dance fix. So, the three of us are co-hosting a party on Monday, December 21, and we hope you'll join us!
