Jewish Dance Theatre

The JCC is proud to welcome the Jewish Dance Theatre as an artistic company in residence. Director Bruce Bierman will lead a dance class pulling from different Jewish traditions and the JDT will host a monthly dance party at the JCC throughout the course of the summer. Look forward to a slate of stellar fall productions from this ensemble.

The Jewish Dance Theatre creates innovative performance and community events inspired by the rich tradition of Jewish art and ideas. JDT also offers workshops in Jewish dance throughout the Bay Area for all ages. For more information about the company and volunteer opportunities, please contact Bruce Bierman at jewishdance@yahoo.com.
The Joy of Jewish Dance

In this unique workshop, participants will learn the improvisational dance steps and gestures of the ancient Yemenite Jewish community, the soulful dances of the Hasidim, the rollicking joy of Yiddish dance and some classic Israeli folk dances that interweave these traditional choreographies with popular dance moves. No experience is necessary and all ages are welcome.

$80 general, $60 members (entire course) OR $15/session
