Meet our Dance teacher



My name is Inbal Hermon. Born with the passion for the dance, I started dancing when I was three years old. My background in dance includes 8 years of professional training in the classic ballet and modern ballet influenced by Marta Gram’s theory. In addition, I have some training in jazz, hip hop and ballroom dance. Majoring in Dance, I started to perform and to work as a choreographer. I have performing experience with the dance companies in Israel and across USA.


The goal of my teaching is to introduce young girls to the joy of dance with a blend of movement, music, rhythm and improvisation. It will give them the opportunities to develop a musical ear and coordination while they are exposed to music from all over the world. The class is divided to two parts. The first part is a warm‐up session which is based on ballet exercises and yoga exercises. Since a dance technique comes from ballet’s classical training and exercises, we consider it a fundamental building block of your child’s dance education. As it strengthens and tones young bodies, it builds lifetime disciplines, develops greater concentration and challenges creativity. In the second part of the class the students will be introduced to different dance styles such as flamenco, modern, Latin, and Israeli folklore.

Meet our Chess teacher

My name is Allen Weiss. I began to play chess when I was 5 years old. Since then I have won several national titles and became a national master in 2008. I have been coaching chess since March 2006, giving private or group lessons to a range of ages, mostly between 4 and 13 years of age, and to many adults as well. Usually, my lessons are about 1 hour long, and I recommend slightly less for children under the age of 6. Assuming my group of students will all be beginners or novice players of a young age, I have a set program which I have developed and conducted over the last few years of my coaching experience. "The first two units I teach to beginners build a strong foundation for young students and act as an introduction to the world of chess. Units that will proceed become very specified on certain topics and become challenging, but very interesting, in my opinion. Overall, I believe that chess builds character and a strong determination to succeed, opening young students' eyes to a very magical world of intricate pieces. In all my experience, I have seen the amazement and laughter of young students thwarted by this game's immensity and beauty. I am very interested in spreading my knowledge of this game and making sure that each individual student understands the material."
