Or Abuhav

 

Or came to the Bat Dor Beer Sheva Dance School at the age of 16, after starting folk dancing just a year before.

It was during his three years of studies at the Bat Dor School that he realized he wanted to be a dancer. To his delight, he was recognized by the IDF as an “outstanding dancer”, which gave him the opportunity to continue his studies at the Bat Dor School in Tel Aviv and even join the Bat Dor dance company at the end of his military service.
