Israeli Dance meets Line Dancing Weekend Workshop
Machol Houston will present an exciting and innovative weekend experience that brings together two vibrant dance traditions in a first-of-its-kind workshop: Israeli Dance Meets Line Dancing, featuring internationally acclaimed Israeli dance instructor Marcelo Marianoff from Córdoba, Argentina, and Houston-based line dance instructor and choreographer Britt Beresik.
The workshop will take place August 7–9, 2026 and promises a weekend filled with music, movement, learning, friendship and cultural exchange. Participants will have the opportunity to explore the rich traditions of Israeli folk dance while discovering the energy and accessibility of modern line dancing.
As part of the weekend’s activities, Marcelo Marianoff will be a special guest at the Friday evening Shabbat service at Congregation Beth Yeshurun. During the service, he will share his personal journey from Córdoba, Argentina, to becoming one of the most sought-after Israeli dance instructors in the world. Congregants will hear how his passion for dance evolved into a lifelong mission of strengthening Jewish identity, preserving tradition and building community through Israeli folk dance. His story reflects decades of teaching at international camps, festivals and workshops while serving as a cultural ambassador connecting Jewish communities across continents.
