Advanced Modern Jazz with Ronen Koresh

 

Ronen (Roni) Koresh was born and raised in Israel. He began his dance
education as a youth as he trained and danced with his mother, a folk dancer
in the Yemenite tradition and with a local Tel Aviv folk dance group. At
seventeen, he moved on to more comprehensive study with Martha Graham's Bat
Sheva Dance Company. Following a three year enlistment in the Israeli army,
during which he was able to continue with his dance training, he decided to
pursue a career in the field. Immigrating to the United States in 1983 at
age 21, Koresh trained at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in New York
City. In 1984, he came to settle in Philadelphia where he performed with
Shimon Braun's acclaimed Waves Jazz Dance Company. He also was one of the
original Evening Magazine Dancers and won a People's Choice Award in 1987 as
Philadelphia's Most Outstanding Jazz Dancer. 

 

Koresh embarked on his teaching career while continuing to train and
perform. Early teaching experiences ranged from ballet residencies in both
the U.S. and Europe to modern jazz classes at the Philadelphia based Jazz
Dance Center. Roni began teaching at the University of the Arts in
Philadelphia in 1986, and to this day, remains on faculty as a professor of
jazz dance. He has taught master classes and created choreography on dance
students at Drexel University, Wake Forest and the Elie Studio in Mito,
Japan, just to name a few. He has also set his exciting repertory on both
students and professional dancers; most recently, he traveled to Utah to set
Ancient Future on Derryl Yeager's Odyssey Dance Theater and in 2004 was
commissioned to create a full- length piece for the Cerritos Center for the
Performing Arts in Los Angeles, CA. 

 

Roni's expertise is frequently requested throughout the country as he is
invited to be a guest artist and speaker at various venues and festivals,
most recently Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival the Northwest National Dance
Project. For his innovative and explosive choreography, Koresh has received
individual fellowships from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, The Pew
Charitable Trusts and the Philadelphia College of Performing Arts.
