Hebrew: דבקה סקיו ('Skayo's Debka). Circle dance by Moshe Eskayo, 1970. (The year is approximate; it's just one of Eskayo's very very early dances.)
This is a very obscure and complex (for its time) dance of Eskayo's. It is not known to have been danced regularly anywhere except at Boston's MIT session, where it was known as the "Left Leg Killer" because so much of the effort falls to the left foot. It has three parts plus a chorus, that is, the sequence is part 1, chorus, part 2, chorus, part 3, chorus, and the whole dance repeats.
No high-quality video is known for the dance; it is not even recognized by Rokdim. An informal video, with some repeats omitted and shot in low quality, is linked below.
