Dance-related Links

The list below and on subsequent pages represents all of the dance notations published by the Folk Dance Federation of California in Let's Dance! magazine and its predecessors through November 2011. There are over 1060 titles listed.

Much thanks to Lucy Chang, Dick Rawson, Cricket Rayburn, Joyce Uggla, Bill Wenzel, Dick Oakes, Bill Lidicker, and the many others who helped create and populate this list. Thanks also to Bob Young and David Valentine who both dug through their old back issues and files to correct misinformation on these pages, and provide missing notes and better copies to substitute for several dozen poor images we had. Additional thanks to Karen Bennett who tested links, found typos and generally made sure what is posted is reasonably accurate.

Please contact the webmaster if one of the links does not work or displays the wrong dance. Typos happen! Ditto for any other errors (date or year is wrong, something is misspelled...).
If you are not already aware of it, Stockton Folk Dance Camp has all of their past syllabi available on-line through their website.
Even more dance notations available at: The NFO (National Folk Organization) website.
If you are looking for the Federation's former database, which was based on Larry Miller's comprehensive list, it can be found here.
The Federation's publication Index and Pronunciation Guide published in 2004 and the Federation's Steps and Styling Guide published in 1977 are also available.
