Current (1999) repertoires of Israeli dance (FDC and Canberra Israeli dance Group)

Since dates of composition are important, where I have been able to locate them (special gratitude to Naomi Toth, who currently teaches the Canberra Israeli Dance Group, for providing most of this information while she had flu). Thanks to Jim Battison for providing the FDC list, Naomi Toth for the IDG information and for more details about the Israeli dances done in Canberra in general.
