Below is a table indicating web sites mentioned in our scripts. There may be some repitition from an above table. Next to each entry is the script where this web site is mentioned.


In previous versions of this program we attrempted to add links to independent web sites that specialized in Israeli dance. We note that there are many web sites specifically covering sessions (many included throughout this script) but most independent web sites (excluding Aura's and this one) either have been disabled or are inactive. We plan to continue to look for such web sites(and will add them as needed to this section) but many of the individuals behind these previous sites have switched to Youtube or Google.


If you are interested in watching dances, both in performance and/or instruction, we present below some of the groups who have put videos on Youtube and the like.
