Beautiful and attractive books from the most prominent collector and
advocator of the rich heritage and diversity of folk songs
Dances accompanied by singing have been enjoyed by people of all ages
for hundreds of years. These dances have served an important social
function as people share the joy of synchronizing with others through
their body, spirit, and voice. John M. Feierabend has collected song
dances that have their roots in American heritage, as well as a few from
other countries. Each dance is organized by type (single circle, double
circle, square dances, etc.) and includes complete dancing directions.
This beautifully illustrated collection is for anyone looking to reclaim
this great folk dance tradition, use great songs to teach musical
concepts--or simply have a great time.
