| FOR ZION'S SAKE CHILDREN'S DANCE TROUPE -
2001 For Zion's Sake Children's Dance troupe once again toured Israel
bringing with them their special joy and enthusiasm
for the land of the bible. They made their first
tour to Israel two years ago, presenting the dances
and songs of the people as a gesture of friendship & goodwill.
The For Zion's Sake Dance troupe are members of a large home-school
group in Knoxville, Tennessee. The children range in
age from 6 to 19. They were accompanied on the tour
by at least one parent, some of whom which participated
with their children in several traditional Israeli dances such
as Ani Oleh Jerusalem, Noladiti L'Shalom & Eretz, Eretz, Eretz. This
dance troupe has spent the last year studying about the
land of Israel, learning traditional Israeli dances and studying Hebrew
language as part of their home-school education.
They believe this to be the ultimate Field trip!

This year the Troupe brought a special dance from
the poem by Hannah Szenes, Eli Eli. After visiting her kibbutz &
museum the first trip, the children felt a special connection to her
story. They brought a unique
choreography using art on silk to express the words of Hanna's poem
in an unusual "Arts in Motion" presentation. The For Zion's Sake
Children's Dance Troupe come with a heart full of love and an expression
of solidarity with the Israeli people & the land of the bible. They
toured the land from Oct 7th - Oct 21. |
