Growing up orthodox in Jerusalem, my religious background didn’t allow me to study dance professionally. Despite this, at age six, I began dancing in a small studio. Being the only boy among girls and the only orthodox, I hid my kippah and other religious symbols. 

At age twelve, I discovered a cabaret cafe in Jerusalem's old city. I improvised on stage and since then became their "house dancer" for years. At age fourteen, I decided to leave the religion and since then, I search for ways to build bridges between my past and my future, between cultures, and between people.

Immediately thereafter, I studied dance at the Jerusalem High School for Dance, followed by the Maslool Training Program in Tel Aviv. Coming from an immigrant family, I worked as a street dancer to fund my studies. It was the toughest job I ever had. Inspired by this experience, I began inviting young artists to join me and create in public spaces. This project gained momentum when I performed in a car accident scene, which was spontaneously filmed by a journalist and viewed by many. Since then, the collaborative aspect is a core element of my practice. 

 

Throughout my career, I’ve combined my passion for sharing my inner world with the joy of collaborating with inspiring creators. Being inspired by the music world, I also collaborated with musicians I appreciate, such as Eviatar Banai, Tamir Muskat, Rami Fortis, Noa, and Benjamin’s Brother.

Today, I’m a member of the Israeli Choreographers’ Association. I create, dance,  and navigate my way through a challenging and exciting life. I find inspiration in collaborative artists, electronic music, broken heart, Hasidic dance, and alternative finance.
