Re: Israeli Dance books / resources

[Fred Jacobowitz <fredj...>]

Steve,
        Check out a group called NIRKODA. They are an organization 
dedicated to Israeli folk dance. I forget whether they are in california 
or New York but by calling any Israeli Folk Dance teacher you ought to be 
able to find it. Check at any Y or JCC or some such for these folks. For 
that matter, they themselves may have the steps written out. There are 
also a series of recordings of these dances by Folkways records which 
include printed inserts with the steps. However, they USED to be available 
only on 45 rpm records and I assume Folkways is going to get around to 
transferring them to CD, although I don't know if they have done it yet. 
Hope this helps.
