MICHAEL has created some of the most popular dances in the last several years — Achshav Ani Chozer, Ad Hamidbar, Ana Aref, Aneni, Betoch Niyar Iton, Haor Min Heharim, Lean Lachzor, Malabi, Mechakot, Mi Lo Yavo, Normali, Resisim, Shneinu, Tzipor Zahav, and many others. He has a vast repertoire - it’s hard to find dances he doesn’t know! Beyond his fantastic choreography and dancing, he's just incredibly friendly and boundlessly energetic, and we are so excited to welcome him back to Yad Beyad!

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 10TH Yad Beyad and see what he has in store for us this year!
