DANCE GUIDES put together by amateurs for amateurs
Hazel and I started an Old Time Dance Club in Bath in 2009 and the easy way for us to remember how a dance is led off was to write down in our words as we have seen the dance danced.
A few of our friends thought the guides were helpful, which gave us the idea of producing them for amateur dancers to help them remember a dance.
These guides are not for beginners but intended for those with some knowledge of Old Time dancing.
These guides are in no way meant to replace professional scripts or teaching they are only a reminder
