Batsheva Dance Company returned to New York for the first time in four years! The Company performed Ohad Naharin’s Hora at The Joyce Theater for a 2-week run from Tuesday, February 28th to March 12th. In honor of this return, the American Friends of Batsheva hosted a Gala Celebration to praise Batsheva’s dancers, choreographer, and team on the opening night (pictures to come).

The February 28th tour premiere of Hora and the American Friends of Batsheva Dance Company’s Gala Celebration were fabulously sold out and the performance received rave reviews from New York dance critics!
