A truly delightful little book meant as a guide to dance for French Scouts. Beginning a chapter entitled 'Scoutisme et Art Populaire', it includes such amusing lines as "La réalité brutale est là: Le Français ne sait plus danser." and follows up with helpful resources to remedy this. Contains notation of appropriate music, histories, and diagrams of steps to various dances, including the classic 'Chicken Dance'. A very sweet book with a winning cover.
