About

Doron Perk’s journey through the world of dance is a story of discovery, movement, and artistry shaped by a global perspective. Born and raised in Jerusalem, Doron’s early passion for dance led him to the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance, where he earned his high school diploma in 2008. Even as a student, his curiosity knew no bounds, taking him to some of the world’s most renowned institutions—The Royal Ballet School in London, the School of American Ballet in New York City, and the Conservatoire in Paris—each experience adding a new layer to his evolving artistry.

​

Doron’s professional career began on the stages of Europe. From the Croatian National Ballet to Madrid’s Compañía Nacional de Danza, his technical precision and expressive depth earned him recognition as a dynamic performer. But it was in Tel Aviv, with the Batsheva Ensemble, that Doron encountered Gaga, a movement language that transformed his approach to dance. This foundation of experimentation and sensitivity became central to his identity as a dancer, choreographer, and teacher.

​

In 2016, Doron relocated to New York City, where he joined ZviDance and eventually served as Associate Artistic Director. Beyond performance, he cultivated a love for creating work, developing a choreographic voice that fuses vulnerability and precision. His works, such as Grandfather Visit (2021) and The Moment (2024), explore themes of memory, connection, and the interplay of structure and freedom. His ability to craft deeply personal yet universal experiences has garnered critical acclaim, including a Bessie Award nomination and multiple grants. 

​

As the founder of More Fish Dance Company, Doron now channels his vision into nurturing a collective. His teaching, particularly as a certified Gaga instructor and a professor at NYU Tisch, extends his impact, inspiring dancers to explore movement with curiosity and authenticity. Doron’s story is one of constant evolution, a testament to the power of art to transcend borders and connect people through the language of the body.
