MACHOL Czechia is an international seminar with teacher from Israel. It is unique by its family atmosphere where there is the limit of participants around 100 so it is possible to remember and know more personally each other. Our aim is to bring together people from different countries, Jews and non-Jews, younger and older and trough dance to make possibility get known and understand each other. It is important for us to have fun and enjoy the time being together and that is why we invite really good and professional teachers.
