Book excerpt: From the PREFACE. This book of folk dances is published for the sole purpose of placing in the hands of the teachers of the public schools and playgrounds in New York City a description and the appropriate music for the folk dances of the course of study and those which have been approved from time to time as good physical training procedure.

All these dances have been used with success in this city and may be employed under like circumstances with the prospect of like success. This collection is the result of the earnest and efficient work of the teachers of physical training and the class teachers in the New York City schools, whose devoted efforts have developed folk dancing in its legitimate sphere to the great benefit and joy of many thousands of children. It is in recognition of their fundamental part in the development of this phase of physical training, and on their behalf, that this book is issued. From the INTRODUCTION. Folk dances have come to fill an important place in physical training. They range in character from the simple song play in which the accompanying action may be descriptive of some trade to the highly developed collection of movements which are not descriptive of anything in particular, save the pure joy of life in rhymthmic exercise. In varying degrees are found the elements of song, play, drama, and vigorous muscular work. For our purpose, it is necessary to make a careful choice of material, as many dances are very evidently inappropriate for scholastic and administrative reasons. Folk dances should serve only their legitimate purpose, viz: recreation and other results supposed to be derived from informal gymnastics. Of course, no one expects that the educational, corrective, and disciplinary results which we can best obtain from formal gymnastics, will ever be supplied by the folk dances, nor do we wish them to subserve the functions of athletics, athletic games, or even aesthetic dancing. They supply a charming addition to our physical training procedure and we can expect large results from their intelligent use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This overview of folk dancing in the United States showcases an important historical movement and explains how folk dance communities evolved to fulfill the needs of specific groups of people over time. While the general term "folk dance" encompasses a surprising variety of specific dances, there are three major recreational communities or forms: international folk dance, modern western square dance, and contra dance. Throughout the last century, millions of people have enjoyed folk dancing as an educational and recreational activity, regardless of the particular style. Folk Dancing explains the reasons for the folk dance movement that exploded in Europe and North America in the late 19th century. It describes the clubs, camps, festivals, and communities that sprang up, and examines the culture of the movement—the music, key individuals and events, types of clothing, and influences of technologies and popular culture. The book contains authoritative, original information gleaned from the author's own research conducted with hundreds of folk dance enthusiasts across America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Folk Dances and Games Professor Frederick Peterson of Columbia University, well known as a nerve specialist writes: "The dance seems to fulfill every requisite of an ideal exercise - the practical use of all the muscles, the acme of pleasurable emotion, and the satisfaction of the esthetic sense." This is true of the folk dances. They are the ideal natural form of exercise. Moreover, they are simple, pretty and enjoyable and give body control as nothing else does. The need of the many good things derived from this form of physical exercise has existed for many years. With the recognition of the need, there has come a demand for an authoritative hand-book prepared with particular reference to the schools. There has been no such book in existence in the English language. The present book was prepared to supply that need. Miss Crawford, the author, has made a special study of folk dancing for many years. She taught the subject to teachers at Chicago University and now has charge of the same work at Teachers College in Columbia University. Her students have gone out to summer schools to spread the good work. All this has intensified the call for such a book as this, which the publishers issue in the hope that it will serve to enrich the lives of the children whose welfare and happiness were kept in mind in the preparation of it.
