Formation Foundations by Chris Ronald
32 Dances to Introduce Formations
This book with its accompanying music recording is a collection of dances that can be used to introduce a formation to a class. The dances are devised so that the chosen formation is the only unfamiliar movement in the dance; the dancers would already be familiar with the other movements.
Some notes are also included to assist in teaching the formation
