What is this?
This is a page indexing the Israeli Folk Dance videos that can be found on various video sharing sites like Youtube and Google Video. This site doesn't hold the videos, but aims to make it easy to find them by letting you search, sort, and visualize the videos according to various useful attributes.

This page is aimed specifically at indexing videos of dances that are done in open sessions, not specially choreographed performances or other novelties.

Usage: should be pretty obvious, but click here for details.
You can use the boxes at the left to select various subsets of the videos. Each box handles a different property of the dance. Click on the values in the box to select only those videos that have any of those clicked values of the property. You can click more than one line to get a combination; e.g., click "circle" and "couple" in the "form" box in order to get both kinds of dances. If you select values from multiple boxes, you'll only get videos that fit the descriptions in both boxes.

The line above the videos, labeled "Thumbnails . Table ..." can be clicked to select different layouts of the videos, with or without various details.

Below that is a line that starts "sorted by...". You canclick there to change the sort criterion, sorting by year or type and so on. If you click on the "grouped as sorted" circle it will put same-valued items into groups.

Please contribute! If you know of some additional videos that should be indexed on this page, please provide the information on this form. If you have a large list of dance videos, please contact me to discuss ways of getting them all up together.

There are a number of others source of dance videos on the web, such as Bekalut.com's video listings.
