Edited by Peter Amidon, Andy Davis and Mary Cay Brass
This book is the 2010 revision of New England Dancing Masters’
classic collection of 20
traditional
dances for children. First published in 1991, the editors have
improved and
updated the dance descriptions, and added several sections on
teaching dance
to
children including tips on calling a dance and various
strategies for choosing
partners with children.
Chimes of Dunkirk includes simple longways dances,
circle dances, square dances and contra
dances.
Ideas for teaching dance successfully in schools, a glossary of
dance terms, and
transcriptions of the dance tunes are also provided.
Book, 50 pages.
The companion recording features some of New
England's finest dance
musicians playing all the music needed to teach the dances. The
revised recording
includes three new tracks. All of the reels, jigs, polka and
waltz are played at dance
length. The two square dances include singing calls on the
recording.
