European dance: Ireland, Poland, & Spain.
Author: Rinaldi, Robin Published: 2004 An introduction, for teenagers and upwards, of the folk dances of three peoples: the accomplished and athletic step dance of Ireland, the lively and lyrical group dances of Poland, and the proud and fiery dances of Spain. In tracing the roots of these dance traditions, the author shows how the histories of these countries became intricately woven into the development of their dances. Intending purchasers should note that this is a history, not a technical manual: performing instructions are not included. |
