Tikvah music and dance classes teach children a variety of creative arts, helping them to develop as individuals through exploration and self-expression.
Participants learn dance styles like ballroom, contemporary, folk, hip-hop and Israel, sing songs in English, Russian, Hebrew and Yiddish and create art holiday-inspired art projects. Each week concludes in a Shabbat celebration and each school semester culminates in a performance attended by friends and family.
Each year, the students work culminates in a stage performance filled with music and dancing. Below are some highlight from past performances.
