Yemenite step

Yemenite step (tza'ad Temani) is a popular dance performed Jews during weddings and other Jewish occasions.

(The alternate form of each name—placing the adjective after the noun—is due to a common preference among dance teachers to emphasize the name of the step rather than its direction.)

The following description of the right Yemenite step explains the footwork and direction of movement:[2] Reversing the above footwork and direction of movement will give the details of the left Yemenite step.

Dance teachers have also applied the name Yemenite to steps that differ from the classic Yemenite step but retain enough similarity to make the name helpful for teaching or descriptive purposes.

Similarly, some teachers may use phrases such as Yemenite-hop, or Yemenite-pivot to describe an otherwise-normal Yemenite step that ends with the specified movement rather than a hold.
