This book consists of a set of four dances, one for each of the four basic steps, that have been written for Elementary dancers. 

 

  1. Oliver’s Fifth – Skip-Change
  2. Christine Miller’s Reel – Pas de Basque
  3. The Lochiel Strathspey – Strathspey Travelling Step
  4. Howard McNally’s Favourite – Strathspey Setting Step

 

Each dance begins with the step that has just been taught so that the technique is still fresh in their minds.  The rest of each of the dances has been kept fairly simple so that the dancers can concentrate on the steps as much as possible.

 

Peter Elmes and his Band and Bill Jacob have produced a CD of music to go with each of the four dances.  This should be out during the course of this year.

 

The cost (including the CD) is yet to be worked out.
