April 8, 2010 - PRLog -- On Sunday, May 2 at 3 pm the riveting Re-Vital Dance Troupe from Israel comes to the Axelrod Performing Arts Center, 100 Grant Avenue, Deal Park, NJ direct from their engagement in Las Vegas.  Their thrilling stage show, “Jerusalem Forever” features sensational dancers, lighting and music! The ensemble has reached unprecedented success in Israel and abroad.

The ensemble was founded by Revital Pienica Zevulunov in 1995 and quickly became the representative dance group for the Israeli city of Petah Tikva. The ensemble soon reached unprecedented success throughout the country and in 1998 started touring internationally in the United States, Germany, Holland, France, Costa Rica and Mexico. The company has been seen at international festivals, theaters, Israeli Independence Day celebrations, and even performed a live concert on M TV Europe.
