Spark o' Water (PDF)
This book of 21 dances, Spark O’ Water, was published as a celebration of Dancing in Nova Scotia. It was written to commemorate the 35th Anniversary of the Nova Scotia Branch in 2017 and to honour our dancers, past and present. These dances were devised by local dancers or written in honour of them.
The music is available on a CD, recorded by Keith Smith (Fiddle) and Muriel Johnstone (Piano)
