Odd Delights

This is a collection of two dozen dances which John Gardiner-Garden composed in many different styles and formations in response to requests, challenges, needs and whim. The dance descriptions are not to be found in any of the Lost Dances or Historic Dance volumes. All entries include full dance instructions, dance summaries, extensive notes and either chorded music or directions to appropriate music. The cover illustrations are from the author's collection of antique dance prints.

We will look forward to providing you with the latest of everything as soon as they are available.

I've left the notes below so it is easier to bring this page back to life when all books are again available

and so you have something to read and look at in the meantime, but remember

the information and pictures below are from some years ago

and I am not supplying any of these works at the moment

(save the 2 Lost Dances, which are a classic that doesn't need updating)
