Yes, Hora Eclipse 2 and Kochavim 2024 (HEK2024) together are going to create an amazing dance camp, but it will be so much more than that!

Why Texas?
Although the path of this eclipse includes other locations, like Cleveland and Pittsburgh, you can see the eclipse only when the weather permits; clouds are deadly! Our Texas location combines the longest eclipse duration with the best weather prospects in the USA.

Who are the teachers / programmers?

Tell me about the eclipse!
A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly between us and the sun; we'll see a solid black circle in the sky as the world darkens. There is nothing like the experience of a solar eclipse. Hora Eclipse 2 will provide everything you need to understand and enjoy this celestial event safely. (The slides from the instructional presentations at the first Hora Eclipse can be found here and here.)

But isn't 2024 a long way off?
It is, but dedicated eclipse-chasers make their plans well in advance, so we wanted everyone to know of this great opportunity to witness a total solar eclipse AND dance!
