Welcome to the Yesodot Website!


Yesodot is the Israeli Dance Troupe for teens - grades 9 through 12 - in the Washington, DC area.


The troupe performs about 10 times per year in the Washington, DC area for Hebrew Schools, Synagogue Events, Community Wide Israel Festivals and for the Hebrew Home of Greater Washington. We also try to travel outside of the DC area at least once per school year - during the 2007-2008 school year we traveled to the New York Israeli Folk Dance Festival and to Hora Aviv - an Israeli Dance workshop "camp" weekend outside of Philadelphia. In the past Yesodot has also performed at Israeli Dance Festivals in Boston and in Mexico City!


Yesodot currently rehearses once a week at B'nai Israel Congregation in Rockville. The troupe is under the direction of Pepe Strauss and Mike Fox.
