The first section supplies a "Folk Dance Scope and Sequence Chart" which lists the dances and grade levels appropriate to each. The second section is arranged by grade level, and provides a more detailed description of each dance, including the ethnic or regional origin, the locomotor skills involved, and the formation of the dance. In the third section, suggestions are made for the teacher in preparing for and presenting the lessons. The fourth and fifth sections list basic dance steps and define dancing terms. Sample lesson plans for six dances are included, as well as a bibliography, and a list of record suppliers in Canada and the United Sattes. (JD)
