Folk Dance Page


Some time ago, I published two books of dance compositions, 'The Rotherwood Assembly' and 'The Elmwood Collection'. Since then I have devised several more dances, however rather than produce another book, I have decided to make the later dances available for free download. All I ask is this: if you use a dance, please credit the source. I have tried to make the notation as unambiguous as possible without being too long winded, however if there is anything which is not clear, please
contact me. Woottens' Whirl and Yarm Castle were published in 'The Elmwood Collection', they are included here because I have since modified them. The dance instructions are stored as pdf files, so you will need a pdf reader such as Adobe Acrobat which is free from www.adobe.com. Left clicking on the dance title will display the instructions (if you have a pdf reader installed). If you want to save the file on your PC, right click the title and choose Save Target As...
