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
