Sephardic dance?

Just wondering, is there anyone who has done research on the dances of Jews of
Sephardic origin; i.e., how do/did Jewish dances in places like Morrocco or
Salonika differ or resemble the dances of the surrounding culture?
I've never come across these sorts of dances--only Israeli dances that utilize
Sephardic melodies but don't attempt to show the actual dances of Sephardic
Jews. I know there are performing troupes but haven't had the opportunity to
see any of them out here.
