Having amazed the Istanbulites with their performance at İş Sanat last January, Koresh Dance Company revisits us with a brand new program. Renowned for their powerful stage presence and emotionally driven style, Philadelphia’s Koresh Dance Company has been hailed as an extraordinary force to the stage. Founded in 1991 by Israeli born choreographer and artistic director Ronen Koresh, this troupe presents its audiences with an exciting blend of ballet, modern and jazz molded into a style of choreography that is both eloquent and explosive. The company's critically acclaimed work attracts a continually increasing audience across the nation, and Koresh's reputation for passion and outstanding technique regularly results in sold-out performances. The company presents bi-annual home season concerts, and performs on tour at various national festivals, performing arts centers, university performance venues, and charity benefits. The Company’s founder Ronen Koresh, born and raised in Israel, 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. 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. Amazing audiences worldwide for 15 years with his company, Koresh has also been training young dancers in his school founded in 1993.
