Howie & Aliza Goldman

Picture of Howie & Aliza

Howie & Aliza are familiar faces at Hora Aviv for the past several years. There is hardly a person in the dance community in the US that does not know who Howie is. You can see them dancing in the center, leading the way with their untapped reservoir of dances. The quote of one Hora Aviv dancer cristalizes the essence of Howie & Aliza:

"One of the reasons I come to camp every year...is because I really enjoy the energy, spirit, and knowledge that Howie and Aliza bring to camp. Howie is a great "go to" when I need to remember a step in an obscure dance...The two of them together are very easy to follow if I have never seen a partner dance before. I have learned many dances from Howie, and think his teaching is easy to follow across all ability and taste levels, and have found that it always adds to my enjoyment of dancing."


You are going to enjoy Howie & Aliza.




Members of the Hora Aviv staff:
