Sapri Tama   Dance by Yoav Ashriel, 1968

      Notes by Phillip M. Feldman   6/21/1986  Revised 8/6/1987

This beginner-level dance has two parts. Dancers form several rows all
facing in the same direction; hands are not joined.  The direction of
travel is parallel to the rows.  The dance repeats eight times; during
each repeat (see below) dancers turn 90 degrees to the right so that
rows become columns and columns become rows.

       Part 1:

  1-2: Step to the right with R and stamp L without weight, i.e., so
       that weight remains on R.  Stamp lightly.  Raise both arms on
       count 1 and, swaying slightly to the right, snap fingers on 2.
  3-4: Step to the left with L and stamp R without weight.  Arms
       remain raised; sway to the left and snap fingers on 4.
  5-8: Swivel (or pivot on L) 90 degrees to right and lower arms.
       Stamp 3 times in-place with R-L-R and pause for one count.
       The third stamp is without weight.
 9-12: Yemenite right: Step to the right with R, lean left (trans-
       ferring weight to L), cross R in front of L, and pause for
       one count.  There should be little or no movement of L.
13-16: Yemenite-left (mirror image of Yemenite right): Step to left
       with L, lean to the right, and cross L in front of R.

       Part 2:

  1-2: (Slow) step to the right with R.
  3-4: Swing the left leg in front of R and let it fall back slowly.
  5-8: Mirror image of 1-4: Step to left with L and swing R.

 9-10: Step to the right with R and turn head to left.
11-12: Cross L in front of R and turn head to right.
13-16: Repeat 9-12.
17-20: Yemenite right.

       Counts 21-32 are the mirror image of 9-20:

21-22: Step to the left with L and turn head to right.
23-24: Cross R in front of L and turn head to left.
25-28: Repeat 21-24.
29-32: Yemenite left.
