Rich Janis: Noting Young's death.

Hebrew: בסוף מעגל, "At the End of the Circle". Partner dance by [[Itzik Sa'ada]], 1983. The dance is often played last in the evening because its Hebrew title can also mean "At the End of the Dance".

The music and original English lyrics were written by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Young Kenny Young], whose name is sometimes mistransliterated from Hebrew as "Keni Yang". The Hebrew lyrics (sung by Arik Sinai) are a translation by Yehonatan Gefen. The original lyrics, which undoubtedly inspired the artistic puzzles and contradictions in the Hebrew, have been lost. Kenny Young, who passed away in April 2020,<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/jun/07/kenny-young-obituary Kenny Young obituary, ''The Guardian''].</ref> believed they were located somewhere in his catalogues but he had not been able to find them as of this writing<ref>Email from Kenny Young, 3 September 2019</ref>.

(One must be careful about the composer's identity: there are at least three songwriters named Kenny Young! The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Young composer of BeSof Ma'agal] had been active since the 1960s and founded the environmentalist group [http://apeuk.org/ Artists Project Earth]; he is well known for his Grammy Hall of Fame song [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_the_Boardwalk "Under the Boardwalk"]. Other Kennys Young include the leader of [http://www.kennyyoungandtheeggplants.com Kenny Young and the Eggplants], plus the leader of the southern countrified rock group [https://kennyyoungband.com/ Kenny Young Band].)

Choreographic note: The man is always on his left foot with the exception of four measures: At the end of the second repetition of part I, the man must hold or fudge in order to start part II by crossing his partner twice on the right foot. He slides twice to the right, again on the right foot, but then switches back to the left to approach his partner. The woman is on her right foot throughout.

"Double" dances

2015-05-31T06:19:27Z

Rich Janis: +Shibolet Basadeh. NOTE: Although Rokdim shows only 2 dances by this name, IsraeliDances.com also shows a 1959 partner dance by Sara Levi Tanai but I couldn't play its music link to determine if it's the same.

"Double" dances are those where two (or, rarely, more) choreographies exist to the same or to very similar music.

(Discussion needed about how double dances arise, why they're a problem, attempts at solution, how opinions differ among markidim and choreographers and dancers.)
