Hilulim is a dance camp in the northeastern USA run jointly by Yossi Almani and Karen Kaplan.


History

Hilulim Israeli dance camp began as Camp Hilula, in November 1999 at the Paramount Hotel in Parksville, NY. It was directed by Miriam Handler and Shlomo Maman, with assistance from Yossi Almani. Teachers in Hilula 1999 included Shlomo Maman, Gadi Bitton, Yaron Carmel and Yaron Ben Simhon. After a year's hiatus, Hilula was reborn as Hilulim in 2001, and has continued every November since that time. Hilulim teachers almost always include Gadi Bitton, Yaron Ben Simhon and Yaron Carmel, and occasionally other choreographers/teachers as well. US-based choreographers Moshe Eskayo, Naftaly Kadosh and Danny Uziel often participate in Hilulim weekends.

Hilulim dance weekends regularly include concerts by Israeli singers who are known for songs to which there are popular dances. Past guest singers to Hilulim have included Avihu Medina, Reuven Erez, Micha Biton and Sagiv Cohen.
