Clapyerhands 'n' Stampyerfeet

Children in school who had never danced before, found even the dances in "Dancing Feet" rather difficult.

These dances therefore involve very simple movements such as:

• standing still and clapping in time 
• walking in time 
• stamping in time 
• skipping

The formations to be taught have been reduced from the 18 outlined in "Dancing Feet", to 11 in "Clapyerhands".

All of the dances in this book are themed around Robert the Bruce and the Battle of Bannockburn to give them added interest for children and teachers. The dances are:

• Robert the Bruce 
• William Wallace ("Braveheart") 
• Stirling Castle 
• Bannockburn

The movements of each of the dances represent aspects of events involved in the title.

Each dance has a page of information about its particular title and a picture which teachers can copy to give to children for use in telling the story of the dance.

A CD, produced by Bill Jacob, of Peter Elmes and his Band goes with the book so that as far as schools are concerned it is a kit - "Ready to Go".
