Hebrew: דבקה סימון (Simonne's Debka). Circle dance by Moshe Eskayo, 1995.
Moshe wanted to create a dance for Etan Weinstock, to be called Debka Etan. Etan was a teenager at the time, and with a teenager's petulance said that he didn't want a dance named after him. When asked, he offered the name Harvey instead (a name he liked) and so Moshe set out to create Debka Harvey.
Meantime, a friend of Moshe and of Avner Naim persistently asked them for a dance to be named after him; his name was Simonne. Eventually Moshe gave in, naming the new dance Debka Simonne but retaining the reference to Etan's preferred name.[1]
