Moshe Eskayo was the director of Hora Keff and the Sababa weekend seminar. He was a prolific choreographer and was fondly known as the "Debka King." He was owner and director of Eucalyptus International Folk Dance Cafe, and director of the International Folkdance Camp (IFC) in Kent, Connecticut. He taught dance since 1955 until his death.

The Hora Israeli folk dance camp was held in 1979 and 1980 and merged with Summer Dalia in 1981 to become Hora Shalom at Cejwin Camps, which was directed by Moshe and Danni Uziel. Hora Shalom camp continued through 1989.
