Week 3: Contact Tour
December 29th, 2009 - January 2nd, 2010
|
|
Hello Again!
This is the fifth year we will meet at this great event.
The Contact Tour provides the ultimate combination - dance, nature and good people.
Throughout our tour we will travel around Israel and enjoy the sun and the desert.
The Contact Tour is a unique opportunity to get to know Israel while dancing.
As always we will have a teacher (TBD) on board with us all 5 days, who will give the 'on the road intensive'.
We will spend most of our time in the wonderful Negev desert.
If you are looking for a unique contact experience--don't miss it!

It's a rare opportunity for both Israelis and foreigners to experience a variety of special places, teachers and friends. Activities will take place indoors and outdoors (as weather permits) with teachers both from Israel and all around the world.
What to bring: Sleeping bags (we will be sleeping in shared, closed and heated (if needed) places on mattresses), comfortable backpack and shoes for hiking, musical instruments, hat, sunscreen, eating supplies (plates, utencils, cups).
Activities will take place in (almost) any weather, so bring warm clothes, umbrella, rain coat and extra shoes.
Food will be vegetarian, and most of the times will be prepared together.
Tour plan: (please note - dates are fixed, but places are subject to change)
