TAMIR began Israeli dancing at the age of 13 as an Israeli living in Palo Alto. For the past 11 years, he has been sharing his vast repertoire of dances running the studio at Gadi Bitton’s session at Tel Aviv University, and he recently opened his own successful session. He has also created some of his own dances, including Ein Maspik Zman, Goca Dunya, Ketzev Hadarbuka, Matok Matok, Shir Lenetta, Shuvi Lebeitech, and Yonatan. Beyond his incredible repertoire and dancing, Tamir is just incredibly friendly and boundlessly energetic, and we are so excited to welcome him back to Yad Beyad!

TAMIR began leading Israeli dancing later in life and has since created some of the most popular dances danced around the world — Besof Kol Yom, Chatzi Spanoli Chatzi Teimani, Gitara Vekinor, Kama Yamim, Kol Hayom, Lo Malachim, Masa, Nagat Li Balev, Pitom Hakol Nosea, Sorefet Rechavot, Tachzor, and many others. He also runs some of the biggest dance sessions in Israel! Beyond his fantastic choreography, Tamir is kind and humble and always a pleasure to be around!

MITCH is an amazingly talented teacher who can teach just about any dance at a moment's notice. He has choreographed some of the most creative dances we do, including Ansi Dize La Novia, Baba Kosmi, Kol Hayom, Mangina Shelo Chozeret, Op, Ulay Hapaam Ulay Halayla, Vilner Gaon, and more.  In addition to being a one of a kind teacher and choreographer, he is pretty much the nicest person you will ever meet and truly a member of the Yad Beyad Team, our Artistic Director. We are excited to welcome Mitch back to Boston for his 11th Yad Beyad and see what he has in store for us this year!
