| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Teaching dance in early childhood education in the national-religious community (NRC) is a relatively new phenomenon in Israeli society. This article describes teaching practices that religious dance teachers create and use to bridge the divide between Jewish tradition and dance. The research is based on an ethnographic observation of dance classes in schools. Through analysis of a typical class, this article illustrates how the teachers have formed a unique dance class structure: the dance midrash. |
