Hassia Levy-Agron

She then joined the Lemel school, where she received instruction from dancers based in Tel Aviv; these instructors "were certain that [she] was born to dance".

She began giving solo shows, and crafting nights of cultural recital involving dance, drama, and music.

She choreographed for the young dancers as well as teaching them skills and techniques, with her distinct choreography style based on Biblical narratives and everyday Israeli life.

Levy-Agron was also a prominent figure in organizations and societies, with her personality and public appearances said to have helped promote dance in Israel.

In 1978, Levy-Agron was promoted to professor at the academy, and developed a high school matriculation pathway based around dance, which became officially accredited seven years later.
