Hebrew: דבקה דור (Dor's Debka). Circle dance by Moshiko Halevy in honor of his grandson, 1986.
The structure of the dance is four figures plus chorus, starting with the chorus and ending with the fourth figure. The only confusing matter (and the whole point of this article) is that the first part is so symmetric that nobody remembers how to begin. Answer: Start with a step on R while turning left to face RLOD; touch L; step L while turning right to face LOD; touch R. So the immediately following steps (RLR, L, R) travel in line of direction.
