Hava Nagila

The dance steps came to the U.S. long before Israeli independence, in the early 20th century. The steps to the actual dance are very easy to do, and can be done by a people of all ages and sizes, basically by anyone at all who wants to dance. That may, in fact, have something to do with the popularity. The dancers all join hands (or, in some traditions, the men hold a hankerchief with their female dance partners holding the other end) and begin to move in a circle. The steps are as follows:

1. Step the left foot across to the right.
2. Let the right foot follow.
3. Step the left foot in back of the right.
4. Follow again with the right. (source)
