Our dance books come with one or two companion CDs that contain a full audio soundtrack for each dance in the book. All tracks have the dance ‘calls’ at least once through the sequence, and enough music for the complete dance.
Here are a few sample 20-second grabs from the companion CDs and other audio products in MP3 format (click on the links and the track will automatically play in a new window). Some of the dance book samples have bits of the dance ‘calling’ as an example.
