Phyllis Weikart's "Teaching Folk Dance" is an immense book filled with ideas, techniques, steps, and suggestions for teaching folk dance. At first I was a little confused with the language to dance terms but after reading a little bit more I'm understanding a lot better. This book takes you through the steps of learning and teaching the folk dances included throughout the book. (Some are even choreographed by the author) The dances are from around the world and range from beginner to intermediate. Weikart tells you how to read box notation in dance, as well as giving you a step by step written version. One thing I REALLY appreciated was a section in one of the appendixes giving suggestions to which dances you should include within the same lessons. (There is a sequential set of lessons laid out) This is a great resource to have.
