With a rich and diverse background that spans dance training in Israel, studies with the prestigious Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in New York, and performances with Shimon Braun’s Waves Dance Company in Philadelphia, Ronen Koresh founded the Koresh Dance Company in 1991. After years of creativity and passion, he has crafted ‘Masquerade’, produced in 2023.
