Harari is a flamenco dancer, teacher, and creator who sees the art of flamenco as an understandable and universal language. Harari immigrated from the US to Israel in 1992 and lives in Jerusalem. She danced with the Spanish Dance Company in Boston and performed in clubs and festivals as a soloist in New York. Her broad background in dance includes classical ballet, jazz, modern, and folklore dance, and she studied with leading flamenco teachers in Madrid, Granada, and Seville. In Israel, she has promoted projects combining flamenco with Ladino, Arabic, and classical music. She performs with Israeli and Spanish flamenco artists, manages learning centers, and produces events. Beyond her artistic endeavors, Harari has taught and performed in many community frameworks: community centers, schools, retirement homes, associations, and shelters.
