Israeli folk dance

Israeli folk dance (Hebrew: ריקודי עם, romanized: rikude ʿam, lit. 'folk dances') is a form of dance usually performed to songs in Hebrew, or to other songs which have been popular in Israel, with dances choreographed for specific songs. Israeli dances include circle, partner and line dances. As almost all dances are intentionally choreographed. The choreographers are known and attributed, the reference to these dances as "folk dances" is sometimes controversial among the general folk dance community. The recent trend of dances becoming more complex and "professional" has led some to use the alternative term "Recreational Israeli Dancing."
