CURRENT MISSION

To get my feet on the ground via movement and learning.

ABOUT ME

Come over and we'll tell you more about ourselves.Keshet is a wonderful Israeli choreographer/dancer. Leo is a rabbinical student and a teacher. Now we live in Be'er Sheva, the capital of the Israeli desert.. We have a fantastic roomy house. We're both musicians and songwriters, so we'd love to show people some of our art & stories.

PHILOSOPHY

We are constantly learning about how to connect with others and with ourselves, and in those connections we find new ways to create and recreate in our means of trying to bring the heaven into this earth.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh man...this is tough. Leo: The first thing that comes to mind was going through my grandfather's hometown (Sofia, Bulgaria) and finding the area he lived in before the holocaust. But there are plenty, and hopefully much more to come.

Teach, Learn, Share

Leo taught music theory and jazz guitar for a few years now. He's interested in inspiring new, creative music out there. Keshet's passionate about movement, and she teaches modern and folk dance styles, as well as a new style that incorporates liturgical texts with authentic movement.
