Be familiar with the two major dance forms -circle and line; and then eventually a third - partner.

Be familiar with the variety of IFD styles - traditional ones including hora, yemenite,  and newer imported styles such as hip hop and other influences from countries other than Israel.

Have a repertoire of basic beginner dances , both traditional and modern.

Be familiar with the method of learning new dances by active following, and be able to follow and learn easy dances using this method.
