| Publisher Description: "Square dancing" refers to a dance for which four couples - eight dancers - are arranged in a square facing inwards, with one couple on each side. Square dances were first appeared in 16th-century England and also became quite popular in France and other parts of Europe. This vintage book contains a beginner's guide to learning this dance, with step-by-step instructions and helpful diagrams. It is perfect for those looking to learn this traditional dance and is not to be missed by collectors of related literature. Contents include: "Quadrilles", "Square Sets", "Longways Sets", "Running Sets", "Play-Games", "Round Dances", "Callers", "Active Couple of Odd Couple", "Allemande Left", "Balance", "Balanced In", "Break Away", "Chassez", "Circle", "Corner", "Do-See-Do", "Grand Right and Left or Grand Chain and Change", "Honor One's Partner or Honor One's Corner", "Ladies' Chain", "Partner", "Promenade", etc. 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. |
