Discover the New Masa Go Dance Program: An Intensive 8-Week Journey in Israel
For dancers seeking a focused, creative, and inspiring short-term training experience, the new Masa Go Dance program at the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company’s International Dance Village offers a rare opportunity. This 8-week program distills the essence of KCDC’s world-class training into a concentrated, meaningful format set in one of the most unique artistic environments in the world.
A Program Built Within an Internationally Renowned Dance Institution
Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company is recognized internationally for its artistic innovation and global touring schedule. The company performs year-round at major theaters and festivals across Europe, North America, South America, and Asia. For decades, KCDC has been a leading cultural ambassador for Israeli contemporary dance, celebrated for its bold, physical movement language and deeply human choreography.
The International Dance Village—KCDC’s home base—is equally remarkable. Situated in Kibbutz Ga’aton, the Village overlooks the rolling hills of the Galilee and the Mediterranean Sea. It is the only place of its kind: a full-time creative center where a professional dance company, a thriving dance school, international programs, rehearsal studios, and residential housing coexist within a serene natural landscape.
The site also hosts two of KCDC’s flagship educational programs:
· The Kibbutz Summer Intensive, attracting dancers each summer from dozens of countries, and
· The Dance Journey program, a five-month semester-long study-abroad experience for dancers aged 18 and above.
Masa Go Dance joins this family of transformative programs, offering a shorter but equally impactful introduction to life and training at the Village.
What Makes Masa Go Dance Unique
Masa Go Dance offers daily training in contemporary technique, ballet, repertoire, floor work, improvisation, and creative research. Participants learn from KCDC company dancers and teachers, gaining insight into the company’s movement vocabulary while engaging in their own artistic development.
Living on-site in the kibbutz offers a rare blend of focused professional immersion and meaningful community living. The natural beauty surrounding the studios—quiet mornings, open fields, Mediterranean breezes—creates a setting where dancers can center themselves, reflect, and grow.
Beyond the Studio: Exploring Israel
An important component of Masa Go Dance is the opportunity to experience the landscapes, cultures, and histories of Israel. Participants take part in organized field trips, which may include:
· The Galilee region, with its lush hills, vineyards, and historic sites
· The Old City of Jerusalem, offering an unforgettable encounter with layers of history and tradition
· The Dead Sea, one of the world’s natural wonders
· An overnight Bedouin hospitality experience in the Negev Desert, where participants share meals, music, and storytelling under the desert sky
These experiences offer a deeper connection to the country, expanding the program beyond dance into cultural and personal exploration.
Who the Program Is Designed For
Masa Go Dance is ideal for dancers who want meaningful training on a shorter timeline, individuals who wish to experience Israeli contemporary dance firsthand, and those seeking a community-oriented environment where artistic and personal growth happen simultaneously. The program balances structured technique classes with opportunities for exploration, research, and creative collaboration.
A Transformative Dance Experience
With its combination of high-level training, cultural immersion, and exceptional affordability, Masa Go Dance stands out as an inspiring entry point into KCDC’s world. For many dancers, these eight weeks become a foundational artistic experience—one shaped by world-class instruction, new friendships, the beauty of Kibbutz Ga’aton, and the rich landscapes of northern Israel.
