Folk Dance Fridays!

For me, one of the biggest obstacles to teaching a folk dance I've never danced before is visualizing the movements.  In this world of YouTube it's easier than ever to see a dance in action, but sometimes that isn't enough.

Dance Animations!

Luckily, this website exists: http://www.dancekaleidoscope.org.au/dance.html 

This website offers visualizations of many different dances.  You can search their dance database by genre, number of couples, or dance author.  The dances come with notes, call, source, and where available, the history of the dance.

Happy dancing!
