Product Description
by Beth Tolman (Author)
This vintage book contains a complete guide to country dancing, with chapters on everything from its history, lore and development; to how the dances are performed and beyond. Written in simple, plain language and profusely illustrated, "The Country Dance Book" is ideal for those with an interest in country dancing and how to do it. Contents include: "Introduction", "The Calls and Conduct", "The Dance Begins", "Hats off to France", "Some Contrys", "Thanks to the Irish", "A Gift from the Scots", "Out of the Doldrums", "Polka-Mania", "Freaks and Furblows", and "Who's Who, Now and Then". Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of the organ.
