Teaching New Dancers: Keep it Simple Keep it Fun

Teaching New Dancers is written for leaders who want to teach easy dances to people who have never danced or seldom dance. It is a collection of dances and a teaching plan specifically designed for the needs of schoolteachers, church youth ministers, recreation department personnel, camp leaders, recreation directors for retirement centers, camp councilors, etc. The success of the program relies on using very simple easy to learn instructions. The main goal is to keep it fun.

Most of the dances in this book can be taught by people with little or no experience in teaching dancing. All the dance leader needs to do is learn a very limited number of dances and then show these dances to the people attending the dance party. The dances require no special skill, on the part of the teacher, other than for a willingness to spend a little time learning how to do each dance.

The dances in "Teaching New Dancers" use a very limited number of dance movements. This means new dance leaders will have very little homework to do and their is no fancy footwork to master.

The dances used in this book are arranged in an order that adds new dance skills in a logical pattern both for the teacher and the students. They are deliberately selected to make the learning process easy and fun.
