REVIEW:
Here is the place to go if you want to teach folk dancing at your school. You can find information about different forms of folkdance and their histories. The Folk Dance Association is also an excellent place to get in touch with resources within your own community. Folk dance is a fun, active way to learn about different cultures, and it can be incorporated into music and even mathematics classes as a graphic example of numerical/rhythmic relationships. An outstanding site to get you started!
