About Hilulim
If you’ve been at Hilulim before, you know how much FUN it is and you’ll want to be part of the Hilulim
experience again! If you haven’t been yet… it’s just a matter of time – why not join us this year and see what you’ve been missing?
Hilulim begins on Thursday, October 31, with lunch at 12:30. That afternoon we’ll have a dance session with teaching, and it just gets better and better with each passing hour until it’s time to get back to real life after our Sunday brunch on November 3.
Every day is filled with dance workshops, specialty sessions, delicious meals and late-night dance marathons where
you won’t stop dancing – except maybe for a bite of the incredible non-stop snacks that are always available at Hilulim!
And don’t forget – Hilulim includes great kosher-style meals (kosher available for additional fee).
Talent
We are thrilled to welcome again world-famous teachers and choreographers:
Gadi Bitton, Yaron Ben Simhon and Yaron Carmel!
These guys know how to create FIRE on the dance floor – super high energy, amazing teaching talent, and they’re just plain fun to have around! Gadi, Yaron and Yaron will teach us their latest and greatest dance creations and the best dances from Israel – you won’t want to miss being part of the fun!
This year, we will again be treated to a concert by Israeli singer Sagiv Cohen!
You already know many of Sagiv’s songs, because they are dances you love – including Chaki Od Rega, Perach Ba’Aviv, and Yoreket Esh – and you’ll have a chance to dance LIVE to them at Hilulim!
