Recently, my family and I switched churches, from a conventional church to a congregation of mesianic jews and gentiles called Sar Shalom Fellowship. I have wanted to go there since I was 5, and we know almost everyone there from when they celibrated Rosh Hashanah at our church building, and we kept in touch. Well, I joined the Israeli Folk/Worship Dance Team, and I need help! Any steps, easy dances I could learn, or advice is welcome. Also, I would ask your prayers as our current Rabbi and his family move to Jerusalem, and the new Rabbi takes over, as well as new leaders of the dance team. Shalom!

The easiest way to learn is to do it. Most of the really REALLY traditional ones are round dances, where everyone stands in a circle. More modern ones have more variation, of course. It's nearly impossible to explain the moves through text, though. Just, in the round versions, there's a lot of grapevining.

We belong to an online congregation that we watch and participate in on Friday nights at 7:30 pm. You can see the youth and kids dance Israeli dance in a circle while the worship music is going on. You have to use Pal Talk or Real Player to watch. It's on www.bnaishalom.info . They have special hand movements for certain songs, and they twist and turn and jump.

You could look it up on youtube or the other public-upload-video sites. They must have a lot of videos of dancing.
