Shalom, and Welcome to our
website about Israel and Israeli/Hebrew Folk Dance.
My name is Curtis. My wife,
Carolyn, and I have been public school teachers for 30+
years. I taught 8th grade Math until I retired in
December 2004. Carolyn teaches high school Spanish.
When we
first graduated from college, we wanted to get involved in a
local church and since we were both school teachers, church
leaders just naturally assumed we’d want to work with kids
and youth, which we did for several years. But then
suddenly God opened the door that brought us into Praise &
Worship Ministry. I served as Minister of Music for 20+
years at several churches.
It was during this time that
God began to open our eyes to the fact that dance was
scriptural and that it needed to be restored to the church
as an integral part of our praise and worship experience.
Since those days in the mid
1980s, we’ve had the opportunity to start four Israeli Folk Dance troupes
that met in churches in Catawba and Lincoln Counties in North Carolina.
We’ve also taught at Zion
Center for the Worship & Arts and Resurrection Dance
Ministry in Charlotte, NC.
Whether you’re a beginning
dancer or an advanced one, Israeli Folk Dance will be a
tremendous blessing in your life. The Lord has opened up
the doors for so many types of dance in the church … from
Ballet, to Modern, to Interpretive, to Israeli/Hebrew. My favorite
is Israeli/Hebrew Folk, because almost anyone can do it,
regardless of sex or age.
Thanks for checking out our
web site. Hope you find what you’re looking for. Blessings
to you in Messiah, Yeshua.
