Carol Friedman
Carol Friedman has over 40 years of experience teaching a wide variety of dance forms to people of all ages including Balkan/International folk dance, Israeli folk dance, line dancing, and folk dancing for kids. Along with teaching dances from all over the world, her classes combine rhythm, geography, historical and cultural context, physical fitness, community-building, and just plain fun. She has taught folk dance for seniors at Villa Marin in San Rafael, world rhythm and dance at Dance Palace Summer Camp in Point Reyes Station, line dancing at Indian Valley College in Ignacio, ballroom dance in Point Reyes Station, and folk dance at College of Marin. Throughout the pandemic, she taught weekly Israeli and Balkan classes on Zoom, and continues to do a once-monthly Balkan class so she can dance and hang out with old and new friends who live too far away to come to her in-person classes. She currently teaches in-person weekly international folk dance classes at Herman Sons Hall in Petaluma as well as Israeli folk dance at Osher Marin Jewish Community Center in San Rafael.
