Folk Dance Instructions
(and some Video!)
             
Here are instructions for some of the dances in the repertoire of MVFD.
I have added a few links to videos.  These videos are specifically of MVFD dancers and/or the instructor who taught the dance to MVFD.
Want a nifty electronic copy of instructions for over 1100 dances? --->--->--->--->--->-->-->-->--> Check out the MVFD Syllabus Collection on CD - for sale now.
NEW !  --> A directory of miscellaneous  instructions and syllabi.  Nothing fancy, just scanned pages.  Includes individual dances and whole syllabi.  Sorry, no index - you'll just have to dive in and browse!
