Overview

From the INTRODUCTION. The Folk Dance Book, published seven years ago, has been adopted generally throughout the United States. It has fulfilled its purpose in presenting a clear, concise description of the most useful and attractive folk dances appropriate for schools and playgrounds. In response to a wide-spread demand for more dances, this Second Folk Dance Book is published. During the last seven years many new forms of folk plays and dances have been collected and tested. The best have been selected and are included in this collection. Folk Dances have ceased to be a fad. They are now used in connection with formal physical training as a delightful means of obtaining hygienic, educational and recreative results of normal exercise. Acknowledgment is made to Miss Annie Collan for the original arrangement of many Finnish dances; to Miss Maude Edmunds and Miss Ellen Hope Wilson for the collection and trial of several dances; and to Miss Emily O'Keefe, Inspector of Athletics for Girls, for assembling the material. The Editor, April, 1916.
