Simon danced in front of thousands in the prestigious theatre halls of Tbilisi, but in 1972 he left his home of Georgia and migrated to Israel.

With a lack of stages and audiences for the craft he brought with him from Georgia, Simon was forced to give up his career as a dancer and become an instructor instead.

In the town of Or Akiva, he opened a dancing class, where year after year he taught the town’s children the dance he so admires.

During all these years, he never gave up his love for the stage; and so decided to make his dreams come true through his class and turn his small group to a successful and famous dance group.
