As it turns out, the original date for the September 2017 Nirkoda! party (9/16) is Slichot, which is part of the High Holiday observances. Etz Chayim asked us to move one week earlier, so we will be having out party on September 9 instead.
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!

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).
