"In the 1940s and 1950s,
Berg recalls, every youth
organization had an Israeli
folkdance group.
But at the same time, Berg
said she believes there is a
parallel decline in en-
thusiasm for dance in
general. "Is this the result of
the television syndrome," she
asks, "where young people
want to just sit and be enter-
tained?"
"We're also in competiton
with the whole aerobics move-
ment," Jackier says.
One has to understand the
time that it takes to develop
dance skills and how satisfy-
ing that experience can be,
Berg points out. "As in any
