Bamachol Dance Academy

Bamachol, which in Hebrew means “in the dance,” brings the Israeli concept of “dance academy” to our Michael-Ann Russell JCC. The combination of Israeli Dance, Ballet, Jazz, Zumba, and Hip-Hop offers a total experience in the diversity of dance styles and allows children to grow physically, socially, artistically, and creatively. Bamachol promotes skills development, friendship, mutual respect, and Jewish culture, under the supervision of highly qualified and talented staff. The division into age groups and class levels allow each child to have his or her own path of advancement, based on interest and talent. Our Bamachol Dance Academy is performance-oriented – allowing each child to “learn dance while dancing.” Being part of a choreography gives each child notions of space orientation, the sense of belonging, and the responsibility of having a place “in the dance,” which will promote his/her growth as an artist and as a person.
