Acclaimed Israeli choreographers Yossi Berg and Oded Graf will teach a master class focused on their unique movement language arising from their personalized,
intensely physical approach to partnering. They will teach excerpts from their repertoire, which has been developed in the last years with their own dance company.

They have performed around the world, created for dance companies and opera houses and won numerous choreography awards.
