CALIFORNIA---For the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company, dance is more than just an art form, it’s family. The Israeli-based KCDC, founded more than 40 years ago by Holocaust survivor Yehudit Arnon and led today by choreographer Rami Be’er, is a rare entity in the dance world. Its dancers, who hail from around the globe, live and train together in the international dance village at Kibbutz Ga’aton in the Galilee, and on Feb. 22, they’ll perform at California State University, Los Angeles’ Luckman Fine Arts Complex, bringing their unique vision and style to Los Angeles.
