Avodah Dance Ensemble is a modern dance company based in New York City and dedicated to dance making and community building through dance. Guided by the tenet “Tikkun Olam,” a Hebrew phrase meaning to repair the world, Avodah fuses the art of crafting dance with a strong sense of social service. With a pulse on contemporary movement and rooted in Jewish tradition, Avodah uses dance, music, and the study of ancient sacred texts to deepen spiritual understanding. Through cross-cultural collaborations, Avodah, which in Hebrew connotes "service," builds bridges to the larger community. Avodah tours nationally, presenting its diverse repertory in women’s prisons, spiritual services, concerts, arts festivals, weddings, and as part of educational programs.
