DanzaNova was formed in 2009 by composer/pianist/accordionist Ronn Yedidia. The group plays music in the form of folk song and dance, while covering a variety of popular songs with ethnic origins from the Middle East, Central and Eastern Europe and Latin America. The group also plays a series of Yedidia's original dance compositions entitled KlezDances. DanzaNova's performances have been described as “passionate, emotional experiences of deep communication between music, musicians and listeners.”

In addition to Yedidia, DanzaNova’s members include violinist Dmitriy Fisch, guitarist Giacomo La Vita, bassist Eddy Khaimovich and percussionist Yuval Edoot.
