ZF's Israeli Dance class-CDF Clinic 3/24 (REPORT)

Helena,



I enjoyed reading about this and it sounds like you had a wonderful time.



But I like to rock the boat a little (it's one of my ministries), so I'm going to ask what do you mean by this???

We taught the ancient Ma Navu step

Most people would understand the "Ma Navu step" to be the combination that, repeated four times, forms the second part of the dance Ma Navu:<LIST>

• <LI>
• yemenite right</LI>
  <LI>
• pivot on right to face right</LI>
  <LI>
• step together step on left</LI>
  <LI>
• pivot on left to face centre</LI>
  

</LIST>Is that what you're referring to?



But I really must take issue with your use of the word "ancient".



The popular Israeli dance called Ma Navu was choreographed in 1975 by Raya Spivak. The song, by her husband Yossi, was written a bit earlier. I can't trace an exact date, but there's another dance to it by Rivka Sturman that was created in 1962. So the song can't be dated after then.



But 1975 or 1962 certainly doesn't count as ancient in my book <EMOJI seq="1f607">:innocent:</EMOJI>
