"Double" dances

"Double" dances are those where two or more choreographies exist to the same or to very similar music. Israel Yakovee has posted many videos of double dances with the background and stories about them on his Facebook page.

(Discussion needed about how double dances arise, why they're a problem, attempts at solution, how opinions differ among markidim and choreographers and dancers.)

List of double dances

Where appropriate, more details can be found at the individual page of each dance.
