The first dance studio in Tel Aviv
In Ehad-Ha’amstreet no 42 , you will find a ‘simple’, small building designed in 1928 by the architect Ya’acov Ornstein. A building, of wich you will find hundreds of them in Tel Aviv; today with a black/brown facade and the concrete ‘rotten’. You will pass it by, without even notice it…. But this small building became the first dance studio in Tel Aviv, and Ya’acov Ornstein designed it for his wife Margalit Ornstein. The family emigrated, from Vienna, in 1920 to Palestine. The Ornstein-family was a pioneer of dance in Palestine. The ‘free’ (expressive) dance-revolution and the principles of the culture of the body, found fertile ground in this studio. Margalit Ornstein was the founder and theoretician of this new style of dancing. Later, she was the choreographer of the ‘Ornstein Sisters’, … Read entire article »

Since 1989 the Batsheva Dance Company found their home at the Suzanne Dellal Centre for Dance and Theatre in Neve-Tsedek. Bye, Naomi and…Thanks!!! … Read entire article »
The Diva, a documentary
Jeannette (Janet) Ordman is the diva of Israeli dance. A petite, aristocrate woman, who speaks only English and who dedicated her live to dance and her dogs. She was born on November 8th 1935 in South-Africa and began her dance career with the Johannesburg Festival Ballet and later danced with Sadler’s Wells Opera Ballet in London. In 1965 she came to Tel-Aviv to teach ballet and opened in 1968, together with Baroness Batsheva Rothschild the ‘Bat-Dor Dance Company’. Jeanette believed deeply that success demanded not only talent but also dicipline, persistence, dedication, hard work and commitment. ‘Mozer Films’ made a 58 min. documentary (that will be released soon) about ‘The Diva’ of dance. The film presents, for the first time, the exclusive story of her life: a combination of reverse worlds. … Read entire article »
