A very simple very slow Sacred/Circle dance. I find the dance itself rather Circle meditative/spiritual/drippy for my tastes but I find the music very atmospheric.
The music is Israeli but the dance is not. I don't know what Israeli dance this music originally had or even if it had one at all.
Style: Meditative. All hand position changes slow, elegant & flowing.
