Get your dancing shoes on for the 71st Annual Israel Folk Dance Festival and Festival of the Arts, which will take place on Sunday, March 12, at the Gerald W. Lynch Theater at John Jay College in New York, N.Y.

This ain’t your ordinary hora. Rather, it’s an international extravaganza celebrating 75 years of Israeli independence featuring dancers, musicians and singers of all ages from the United States, Israel, South America, Canada, and for the first time, Panama.

Together, they will share the diverse styles and moods of music and dance that make up Israel’s evolving folk culture in an exciting and uplifting stage production.
