Here's the second child in the Step Lively family - a collection of old and new dances that are favourites of Canadian dancers. Each dance includes a short history with tips for successful teaching, and many include a musical notation. Seven of the dances are suitable for primary grades, the rest are ideal for intermediate grades or adult and family groups. The accompanying CD contains 14 tunes that are skillfully arranged, impeccably recorded, and irresistibly danceable. All the tunes are either common in the Canadian fiddle repertoire or were written by Canadian musicians. List of dances:
