Does your “Chimes of Dunkirk” book suffer from dog ears, binder failure, loose or missing pages, coffee stains? New England Dancing Masters is proud to announce, on the 20th anniversary of the first publication of their classic “Chimes of Dunkirk” collection of dances, the release of Chimes of Dunkirk - 2010 edition. The Chimes editors, Peter Amidon, Mary Cay Brass and Andy Davis have improved and updated the descriptions of all twenty-five dances in the book. The Chimes of Dunkirk - 2010 edition CD includes a new recording of “Chimes of Dunkirk” that is friendlier for beginning dancers and community dances, an additional recording of “Galopede” that allows dancers to do the great final “eggbeater” figure, and a new recording: “Blaydon Races” to accompany the dance of the same name.
