"Mostly couples" means longer couples sets with some circles thrown in so

partner for the whole night if you choose.
Erica Goldman (formerly known to all as "Howie's daughter") will return to
Boston for a one-night workshop at MIT! While living in Boston, Erica
performed with many of the local dance troupes including Screaming Sa'adya

Dance Director for Camp Alonim, a Jewish overnight camp where Israeli dancing
is truly an obsession, Erica also teaches dance at both Temple Judea
and New Community Jewish High School. She performs with the Keshet Chaim
Dance Ensemble and performed part of the suite they performed at the Kodak
Theatre for a celebration of Israel at 60, in a show that featured Idan
Raichel, Rami Kleinstein, and Achinoam Nini. Erica runs the popular
"mostly-couples" weekly Israeli dance session in Los Angeles on Monday
nights and co-hosts the Sunday night session with David Dassa. The last
time Erica performed in the Boston area, it was for a performance with
Zikukim at Tanglewood, accompanied by live music by the Boston Symphony
Orchestra. Erica recently completed two marathons (the running-26.2-miles
kind, not the dance kind!) in New Orleans and L.A.
Mostly Couples Night, sponsored by the MIT Folk Dance Club and MIT-Israel,
will be in the Sala de Puerto Rico, on the second floor of the Student
Center (visit http://whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg?selection=W20 for a map). The
