Koresh Dance Company Performance with special guest Kinder HSPVA
February 19 @ 8:00 PM | Back by popular demand! Dance at the J presents an exhilarating evening of Dance with Koresh Dance Company and special guest Kinder HSPVA Saturday, February 19, 8:00 PM in the Kaplan Theatre. Renowned for their powerful stage presence, Philadelphia’s Koresh Dance Company has been hailed as a vital force to both national and international stages. Koresh Dance Company was founded in 1991 by Israeli born choreographer and artistic director Roni Koresh and his brother, executive director Alon Koresh. The company presents a repertory which includes over 60 works by Roni Koresh as well as work by many guest choreographers. Kinder HSPVA will open the performance with a piece especially choreographed for them by Roni Koresh.
Ronen “Roni” Koresh, a native of Israel, began his career with the renowned Batsheva Dance Company of Tel Aviv. Immigrating to the U.S. in 1983, he studied in New York with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater prior to settling in Philadelphia, where he performed with Shimon Braun’s acclaimed “Waves” Jazz Dance Company. After performing internationally, his interest shifted towards choreography, and he founded Koresh Dance Company in 1991. Shortly after, in 1993, he opened the Koresh School of Dance, serving as a residence for his company and a training center for the Philadelphia dance community. In addition to receiving numerous grants, Roni is a recipient of several choreographic fellowships from the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts, the PEW Charitable Trusts, and the Philadelphia College of Performing Arts. Roni regularly travels to conduct master classes, set choreography, conduct residencies, and showcase his company throughout the country.
