I just wanted to say what a fascinating reading is the The Thirty Popular Dances Book 2. Tremendous amount of work. I think my favourite is the drawing of The Dream Catcher – innovative. And I’m just listening to the CD with James Coutts and the band. Great tempo. I’m looking forward to using it with my children’s class tonight. Please pass on my thanks to the committee and staff at Headquarters for the tremendous amount of work and time that has gone into the production of this. Doris Young, 2020
