Pamela Schwartz
Pamela Schwartz is really excited to be part of another NZ Camp. Her last experience as a tutor at Machol Pacifica in Wellington 2009 was very rewarding and she is happy to share her enthusiasm again with all New Zealand dancers. Since then Pamela has had the chance to participate in various Dance Camps with choreographers from Israel and her attendance at regular Israeli dance classes has allowed her to keep an up-to-date repertoire. Pamela comes from Cordoba, Argentina. She lived in Auckland for five years before moving with her husband to Melbourne in 2007. Pamela started learning Israeli dance when she was five years old. It has become one of her passions and she is fully committed to it. Life has taken her to different places and on different adventures and Israeli dance has always been an integral part of the journey. From the age of 5 to the age of 16 Pamela actively participated in the Maccabi Club dance group (Cordoba, Argentina). As a member of this group she was involved in every class and end of year festivals performing up to five choreographies in one show. At the age of 17, Pamela was selected to take part in the Israeli performance troupe "Neshama Leaka "that represented her city. She danced with the troupe for four years and then began work as a teacher in Santa Fe, Argentina where she was responsible for a group of young girls aged between 7 and 8 years old. Part of her role in Santa Fe was to adjust choreographies for that age group and to create choreographies for the girls so that they could participate in annual Children's Festivals. In 2003 wanting to make a change to her life, she decided to move to Auckland, New Zealand. That same year Erica Teicher created Maayan Israeli Dance group in Auckland and in 2004 Pamela joined her in that dream. Erica and Pamela shared a passion for teaching dance and the group thrived and grew as a result of their endless enthusiasm. Together they created choreographies for special occasions whenever the group was asked to perform. At the end of 2007 Pamela moved to Melbourne, Australia. Whilst her teaching career is on hold for the moment, Pamela has continued to dance on a regular basis and she currently goes to three separate classes, dancing for about 9 hours per week. In addition, she regularly attends Israeli Dance camps and is continually updating her extensive repertoire.
