Travel to the University of Surrey​
​
The University is accessible from the M25 motorway. We will be running a coach from Finchley (in North-West London) early on Sunday morning for those attending our special training course for teachers working with children and youth and those interested in stage choreography. Depending on demand, there will also be a coach returning to Finchley on Friday morning. The cost will be £25 each way.
Part-Time Attendance
​
Part-time attendance is possible. You can come to sessions, meals, and even stay just for one night. However discounted prices will not apply.
A part-time application form setting out the costs can be obtained by e-mailing info@idi.org.uk or booking online.
Scholarships​
​
The institute is committed to encouraging young people to become involved in Israeli dance both from the UK and overseas, especially from communities where there is little opportunity to find sponsors locally. If you feel able to assist by making a financial contribution, we would be very grateful.
Summer Training Course 2-3 August 2026​​
BOOKING for special training course. This course is both for those who wish to attend Machol Europa but enhance their teaching skills for children and youth AND for those who just want to come for this special training.
You can just attend on the Sunday or Monday, but the precise programme timetable on these days will be based as much as possible on the needs of those who book. Sessions will not be repeated. There will be 2 courses in parallel - one for newcomers and an enhanced one for returnees from 2025.
