CD: Music and Instructions for 9 traditional dances

£10.00

Dancing has been a way for us to socialise and make merry for as long as there has been a history to record it. The style featured on this CD taps into the depths of this tradition. It is a mixer, a leveller, great aerobics and is nowadays known as Ceilidh, Country or Barn Dancing.

If you want to teach or learn these dances you will find this CD easy to use. There are instructions on how to do them, and each track fits the dance.
