Sagi Azran
With his captivating charisma and extensive knowledge in Israeli dance, Sagi has been a teacher, session leader and a choreographer since he was a teenager. As a kid, Sagi was mentored by Misha’el Barzilay, one of the most appreciated personalities in the world of Israeli dance. He was only 9 years old when Misha’el asked him to teach a dance to a crowd of 250 dancers. Ever since then, Sagi perfected his teaching in every way he could. Years later, Sagi founded an organization in Israel dedicated to teaching kids dance in order to keep them away from violence. Today, living in Los Angeles, Sagi brings exceptional energy to L.A. sessions with the goal of making sure dancers do not forget the authenticity and value of Israeli dance.
