How to Join

The link and password change weekly, but they are sent out in Orly and Aaron's respective weekly emails (click here to join my mailing list), and they are posted in our Facebook pages (Aaron's Nirkoda group; Dance with Orly group).

For security, we ask everyone to display their full name and city (for example, "Aaron Alpert - Redwood City, CA") when logging into Zoom. If you don't know how to change your display name, see the instructions. We will not admit people with names like "iPad Los Angeles" or "Bob's Galaxy S9."
