I suppose that this is all right, if you consider "Around the World" to be the United States and three countries in Europe. (Germany, Italy, and France.)And none of them are familiar, that can be easily used with kids -- What about Skipped to my Lou, or a Greek handkerchief dance, or a much more familiar polka. Better look up dances on youtube. Wish I had.
.I am very disappointed. I was hoping for some authentic national dances and music from a variety of countries to use in my dance school. Four of the eight dances are American ! The instructions in the booklet are not bad, although the order of the dances in the contents list differs from the order in the actual booklet. The CD has glue on it, so most of the music is unplayable. I realise I could have asked for a new CD, but as I find the whole product pretty useless for my purposes, I didn't bother.
Very descriptive explanations of the dances, nice mix of cultures, perfect for me to use for sub plans as a music teacher. Love it!
I teach elementary school and it was great! The kids loved the dances and the instructions were simple to follow
Lots of fun dances to choose from
