The Batsheva Dance Company (Hebrew: להקת בת שבע) is an internationally acclaimed dance company based in Tel Aviv, Israel.[1] It was founded by Martha Graham and Baroness Batsheva De Rothschild in 1964.
From its inception until 1979, the prima ballerina of Batsheva was Rina Schenfeld; she and Rena Gluck were the company's principal dancers for many years. [2] Ohad Naharin has been artistic director since 1990.
