Sashay the Donut
Even More Dances for Just About Anybody
Edited by Peter and Mary Alice Amidon, Andy Davis and Mary Cay Brass.
Our third collection, designed to compliment Chimes of Dunkirk and Listen to the Mockingbird. A collection of 22 more dances that we have used successfully in classrooms and at community dances. Dance instructions are carefully worded with accompaning photos, diagrams and glossary. Includes longways, circles, contras, squares and scatter mixers. Companion CD features dance length recordings of appropriate music for the dances. Music captures the excitement of dancing to live music in a community dance setting. The two square dances include singing calls on the recording.

Any Jig or Reel
We have started producing CDs of jigs and reels to supplement the Chimes and Listen to the Mockingbird CDs. As usual we are using some of New England's finest dance musicians. The second CD of this series has just been released: Any Jig Or Reel.
Want some fresh recordings for the contras, circles and squares that you are already teaching your students? This is for you! The CD features nine medleys of classic New England style jigs and reels — plus three waltzes. Andy Davis on accordion, Becky Tracy on fiddle and Keith Murphy on piano, guitar, and feet percussion. Each medley is dance length. High energy, with a classic New England sound!

Chimes of Dunkirk
We are getting a lot of positive feedback from our first video/DVD product:
"Your DVD is absolutely superb--both as a documentary (the notions of community and dance culture come through so convincingly), and as a piece of film-making (the quality is outstanding--it's technically superb, beautifully edited, and a joy to watch). Thanks for sharing your philosophy and techniques with a wider audience!"

"After a few minutes, I just wanted to jump into the television and get onto that floor to dance!"
