Very special thanks to Roberto Bagnoli of Reggio Emilia, Italy for the scans.
Thanks also to the Rikud Chat list and its members for their contributions to keeping the history of Israeli dances alive.
I am always indebted to the extraordinary work of the Jewish Agency Department for Jewish Zionist Education,  JAFI which inspires me to do what I do every day.
