Christmas Carol Dance Book
This beautiful 100 page A4 size book is a must for any music or dance enthu
siast and will give years of pleasure. Sing while you dance! The word 'carol' once implied dance as much as song and to bring the two back together Dr John Gardiner-Garden has devised 71 social dances in dozens of different formations to fit well-loved Christmas carols from the last 7 centuries. The dances all work exceedingly well, are lots of fun, and, in their style and figures, echo the various carols' historical origins and lyrical storyline. The meticulously well-laid out book contains easy-to-follow instructions to all the dance, full carol lyrics, chorded musical notation, historical notes and wonderful illustrations.
To order hardcopy book for AUD$36 (USD$27) or an e-book version for less go to LULU (where you can also order other books by the same author).
