SL2 Step Lively 2 / Book and CD by Marion Rose
Here’s the second child in the Step Lively family, a collection of old and new dances that are favourites of dancers in Canada.
Many of these dances are widely known across the country, but are rarely seen in collections. Each dance includes a short history, with tips for successful teaching and many include musical notation.
Seven of the dances are suitable for primary grades, the rest are best done with intermediate grades, or adult or family groups.

“It’s attractive, easy to use, has clear and simple directions, and the tunes are well-transcribed. It fills a great need!” – Anne Lederman, fiddler and ethnomusicologist
