ABOUT ISRAELI DANCES DOT COM

Israeli Dances.com is wholly owned by Sam Lipski Associates Pty Ltd,
a private media publishing company in Melbourne, Australia.

This site began when Jared Gottlieb
of the Australian Folk Dance website
joined forces with communications trainer Aura Levin Lipski
of Painless Public Speaking.

Thus the original Israeli Dance Australia website was born.

But every great project is more than the sum of its parts.

We now have a "team" of contributors who have participated
in helping this site to grow into a global resource centre
for dancers, teachers, choreographers, and Hebrew song enthusiasts.

Jack Steel's Israeli Dance Catalogue has now become the online world "bible" of Israeli dances after being available only in hard copy until 2001.

Jack is assisted in his worldwide research by Uri Krieser and Ami Even-Chaim
with support from his wife Ruth Steel.

Israeli Dances.com is proud to have initiated and maintained the hosting of Jack's work online.

It is a unique global resource which lists every recognised Israeli dance created worldwide - more than 5000 at last count - together with all their sources.




The engine that enables readers to search Jack's comprehensive catalogue
was created by Database developer Eli Shilo.

This interactive database provides an unparalleled service for all lovers of Israeli song, dance, and choreography, and was designed specifically for Israeli Dances dot com.

Eli's outstanding talents have also created the Jewish Australia Online Shop database, which attracts customers from around the world because of its easy layout and ordering process.

Our allied site Hebrew Songs.com, which grew out of the original Israeli dance site, owes a debt of gratitude to Chana Shuvaly,
for allowing us to adapt her original concept of "Shir VeRikud"
to become an online Hebrew song word resource.

We also thank the many Hebrew song contributors from around the world
who send new song words, translations, and other links to share their joy of Israeli music.

In addition to our team's input, we feature links contributed
by dancers in Australia and around the world.

Les Posen's web videos of choreographers demonstrating their dances
have been widely acclaimed worldwide.

technical support, graphics assistance

A special thank you to all dancers and song lovers around the world
who keep sending us such warm and supportive messages.
