            Notes by Phillip M. Feldman   2/4/1988

     Al Kanfe Hakesef is an easy (but fast and energetic) two-part
dance; the difficulty-level is 2 on a scale of 1 to 5.  Hands are
joined throughout the dance.

       Part 1: Begin facing CCW around the circle.

  1-4: Run forward with R-L-R-L.
  5-6: Swivelling 180 degrees to the left, leap backward onto R and
       step back onto L (you are still travelling CCW around circle).
  7-8: Turning to face center, step to the right with R and cross
       L (directly) in front of R.
 9-16: Eight counts of Mayim-right (travelling CW around circle):
       Cross R in front of L, step to left with L, cross R behind
       L, step to left with L, etc.
17-20: Moving toward center of circle: Step forward with R and hop;
       step forward with L and hop.
21-24: Right-Yemenite hop: step to right with R, lean to left, cross
       R in front of L, and hop on R.
25-28: Left-Yemenite hop: step to left with L, lean to right, cross
       L in front of R, and hop on L.
29-32: Four quick steps backward with R-L-R-L.

33-64: Repeat 1-32.

       Part 2: Face center throughout this part.

  1-2: Leap (or slide) to right with R and close L to R.
  3-4: Repeat 1-2.
  5-6: Leap forward onto R (swinging arms forward and up) and
       rock backward onto L (let arms drop down).
