SOME INFORMATION ABOUT SHORASHIM 2011
  • Having been transformed into an "urban camp" 15 years ago, Shorashim remains on Broadway with all workshops and the opening and closing parties at Bridge for Dance, a professional dance studio with NEW air-conditioning that is really COOL!  There is also a great wooden dance floor that is much appreciated by those who still love to dance barefoot.
  • NEW LOCATION ONLY FOR MARATHONS!!!  In order to accommodate the large number of dancers expected for the nightly marathons on Saturday and Sunday we will move to the LARGE AIR-CONDITIONED Professional Dance Studio Theater at "STEPS on Broadway", the internationally known premiere dance space in NYC.
  • Shorashim continues the tradition of providing the best teachers at an affordable cost. Regular rates per session are the same as last year. By popular request, we are offering a special reduced rate for the whole weekend of only $140. This weekend rate will guarantee that you can attend all workshops and parties over three days and four nights, even if we close admission to others because we are full. 
  • All registration will be on-site and there will be no formal pre-registration. However, reservations for those coming from out-of-town will be accepted. Since space may be limited, entry will be on a first come-first serve basis and latecomers will be admitted as space permits to each event. Shabbat observers may pay prior to or after Shabbat for Friday night and/or Saturday events.
  • You can pick and choose the workshop(s) and party/marathon nights that are appropriate for you, which can result in a considerable savings. Make your plans based on the schedule listed above.
  • Much of the day is free, with workshops by our guest teachers scheduled in mid-afternoon, so you can sleep late or take advantage of the numerous attractions in New York City during part of the day.
  • A video will also be available of all the dances taught at the weekend from Ben Hole (who also has videos of previous Shorashim weekends). 

Stay tuned for all updates, including the schedule and reasonable rates for individual afternoon workshops & night-time parties/marathons.
