The "Israelisches Tanzhaus e.V." is a registered charity ("e.V" is a legal title in Germany and stands for "eingetragener Verein" - registered charity) based in Munich and founded in 1992 by Matti Goldschmidt. According to its statutes, the ITH promotes Israeli folk dancing in Germany (and also in Austria and Switzerland). On November 24, 2017, on the occasion of its 25th anniversary, the ITH was honoured by the Lord Mayor of the City of Munich, Dieter Reiter, with a certificate for "its contribution to the cultivation of folk dance."[1] [2].
Activities
- The first activity of the ITH was the organization of a dance trip to Israel in 1993. 43 participants joined back then Matti Goldschmidt as the dance and tour leader. Until 2013 16 more dance trips took place under his leadership.
- Since 1994 the ITH hosted annually two choreographers or session leaders for a weekend seminar in Munich, until 2020 a total of 53 weekend seminars were organized. The first choreographer to come to Munich under the auspices of the ITH was Moshiko Halevy.
- In 1995 the 1st Machaneh Aviv took place, with guest choreographer Yankele Levi.
- In 2007 the 1st Hora Sheleg took place, a dance camp for beginners.
