Although no choreographed dances are specifically noted in scripture, we see in various Hebrew and Greek terms the terms for historic dance steps, such as David's dance before the ark of the covenant, or Miriams dance on the shore of the Red Sea. Hebrew definitions define these as dancing in which there was "leaping, skipping or whirling, etc."
From the chapter of your Dance of Manahaim syllabus, which Jewish dance is a Yememite leaping dance, accompanied by the scripture found in Psalm 133:1?
