Front cover of issue #1

Hava Nirkoda was the title of a series of pamphlets edited by Gurit Kadmon, each describing ten dances. Five issues were published between 1949 and 1957.

The first issue said: "הדפים המוגשים בזה מכוונים לעזור לפיתוח הרקוד בציבור. לפניכם –– 10 רקודים פשוטים וקלים אשר כל אחד מכם יכולֹ להשתתף בהם על נקלה." (The pages presented here are intended to assist dance development in the public. Here are 10 simple and easy dances that each of you can easily participate in.)



The first issue (1949) had no table of contents. It contained the following dances:
Simi Yadech
Livshu Na Oz
Tel-Avivia (Yamina Yamina)
Hora Shel Sarid (Circle from Sarid)
B'Mtzeltayim U'V'tupim
Mechol Ovadya
Shualim K'tanim
Vehitifu
Sisu V'Simchu
Har Vakar
