Fw: MacNab Dances in diagrams

April 4, 2006, 6:46 p.m. (Message 44980, in reply to message 44942)

We know that Angus has been working on this project since a long, long time
(and we have an early draft dating June 2000 !) and had great difficulties
in getting answers to queries regarding interpretations of the descriptions
from the Society.  Luckily he got help from dancers around the world with
longstanding experience of the MacNab dances from earlier times.

With the successors of Pilling not being `the most responsive`, for what
seems to us quite some time already, we really hope that now - with what
seems to be the ´definitive` version of the booklet ready for publication -
the Society will be able to quickly complete whatever negotiations have been
holding up the printing (or whatever way of publication is possible).

We think publication would be most timely. And, as two of the lucky few to
have seen this handy booklet, we think it would be most helpful for
teachers.
