In 1958, Yoni Carr Eisner started taking classical ballet lessons in Chedera, Israel, while she was at Kibbutz Maaggan Michael.

Yoni joined the Inbal Theatre in 1960 and the Karmon groups in 1967. She was a soloist in both groups and performed around the world with them.

While with Inbal, she was one of the six who danced in front of the king (played by Jose Ferrer) in the movie The Greatest Story Ever Told, directed by the late George Stevens and starring Max Von Sydow and Charleston Heston.

She also had solo parts in such musicals as Jumbo (Israeli), My Fair Lady, The King and I, and Hello Dolly. During that time, she also taught jazz dancing at the Gertrude Krause Dance Studio in Tel Aviv, Israel.

In 1973, Yoni studied ballroom dancing in New York City and, in 1977, became a certified Dance Educator of America. She also taught ballroom dancing and exercise classes at the Concord Hotel in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York for ten years.

Yoni moved to California in 1984 and began teaching ballroom dance classes. In 1986, she started two Israeli folk dance classes — one at San Diego’s Folk Dance Center and a second at Costa Mesa’s Jewish Comminity Center of Orange County. She joined the famous Arthur Murray dance studio in 1986 where, for ten years, she was first a teacher and then a dance counselor. She also worked as an exercise instructor at the famous La Costa Hotel and Spa in Carlsbad, California, for ten years.

Yoni has more than 20 years experience choreographing, teaching, and performing Israeli dance. She is also an organizer and director of Israeli folk dance camps, weekends, and workshops, such as Finjan on Labor Day and Camp Yona in February.

The Dances Yoni has taught (and teach) are too numerous to list in their entirety but here are a few…

Arbaim, Banu La’asot Samech, Dikar Al Machiba, Ha’amini Yom Yavo, Hamishak Nigmar, Hine Shanah Overet, Hizdamnut Achat, Keneret Sheli (Neara Veshema Kineret), Mila Pshuta, Pitchi Lo Et Libech, Prachim, Tipot Hageshem (Al Tichabe Bein Hashkarim), Tni Li Yad, Yom Ezkera, and Zorna.

MOTHER OF DANCE

~A poem I wrote at the cottage in 2002 while missing Israeli Dancing with Yoni~

Yoni is

A princess fair

With beautiful eyes

And sexy, red hair

When she dances

Oh how the heart sings

To see such grace

It’s as though she has wings

Everyone loves

Yoni’s smiles so bright

She lights up a room

And a dark night

All those who know her

Sing her praises out loud:

“There’s no one like Yoni

Who can inspire such a crowd!”

Left-footed and clumsy

At one time we all were

But her patient, clear guidance

Gave us mastery for sure

So come to Beth El

In La Jolla and you’ll see

Big, smiling faces

Filled with joy & glee

Watch Yoni in action

Demonstrating her poise

But be quiet while she’s teaching

Please don’t make a noise

It’s only six bucks

What a deal! – for a class

Then open dancing & schmoozing

Or just sit on your ……

All of us here

Are just regular folks

Laughing and dancing

And telling dumb jokes

We’re ready for you

To come join in the fun

So grab up your family

And out the door run

Over to Yoni’s

Big dance floor, all wood

Where the music from Israel

Sounds better than good

And if that’s not enough

To entice your soul

Just remember I told you

When life takes it’s toll

That there’s nothing better

For lifting you up

Than to hold hands with your brother

And drink from life’s cup

Of the smiles in singing,

And dancing and song

It’ll carry you through the week

And all your life long!
