Picture of JacobJacob gears dances to the audience in front of him - children, teens, or adults - whether they have years of experience or have never danced before.  He clearly and consisely helps dancers bring dances to life.  He teaches for community groups, for family dances, at weddings and other celebrations, at libraries and schools, and for regularly-occurring dance series. 

Jacob has written many dances which are called by dance callers across the nation, some of which have been published.

Jacob loves to help beginners get to an 'aha' moment when they understand the patterns of the dance and can just enjoy their partners and neighbors in the dance.  His love of teaching dance has permeated his life.  He has taught Morris dancing to a children's Morris dance team, 18th century colonial dance steps and patterns to children in elementary schools, and contras, squares, barn dances and Klezmer dances (Eastern European Jewish dance.)  The response is always positive - Jacob finishes the dance on a high, and the audience happily comes along for the ride.

Jacob is also a storyteller.  He tells Jewish stories, personal stories and folk tales from New England and around the world.
