This is HoraWiki, a treasury of Israeli folkdance information that anyone can edit! To get started, visit the Home Page. |
The following dances are all named after various animals. The animal is part of the dance name except for those with an asterisk, where the animal only appears in the song words.
Dances with "fisherman" or "horseman" are not included.
The idea and several of the dances came from posts in the Machol Ha-am groups.io.
