Keshet Chaim

Founded in 1983, Keshet Chaim Dance Ensemble is a Los Angeles-based dance company that creates and presents traditional Jewish folk dance as well as contemporary choreography based on Jewish dance from Israel and the Diaspora. It is one of the major professional companies of Israeli folk dancers in the United States. Influenced by the multi-ethnic roots of the Jewish music, art, poetry and culture, Keshet Chaim combats prejudice and anti-Semitism through entertainment, community outreach, children’s workshops, and professional development dance education. Its interactive educational programs inspire appreciation of diversity and create excitement and curiosity about Jewish culture.
