“Hoe-Down Dancing, or American Square Dancing – they are both the same – has been hailed as something new by many people ignorant of the fact that basically they have their roots in the traditional English Folk s like the Quadrilles, Cotillions and the Caledonians.  They were taken to Canada and America by the early English settlers and in their modern form are a mixture of folk dances from all over the New World and as such are presented to you in this book.”
