Earthly Delights Historic Dance Academy

We’ve just taken stock of the beautiful new edition of John’s Historic Dance volumes. There was a tentative draft released early last year, but this is the improved/expanded/completed version John hopes all interested in dance on the AFSD list will now get and which the publisher Lulu will facilitate selling all around the world. To find out more about the work as a whole read the note at the bottom of http://www.earthlydelights.com.au/books-cds and to find links for ordering or seeing the covers and contents of each volume go to http://www.earthlydelights.com.au/books-cds/shop. To save you the dilemma as to which volume to buy, you’ll also find on that shop page a mechanism to order a whole set at a substantial discounted rate. You’ll not be disappointed by the work!

Aylwen (and John) Gardiner-Garden.
