Beschreibung
Having discovered Welsh folk dancing as a freshman student at University College of Wales, Swansea, in 1960, Tenby-born Mavis Williams-Roberts became hooked for life on this Welsh tradition. She joined Parti Prifysgol Abertawe, the college's Welsh folk dance team, took part in many a noson lawen and competed in folk dance competitions at the Inter-collegiate Eisteddfod, the National Eisteddfod, and the Llangollen International Eisteddfod. Mavis recalls her folk dancing journey in this book, giving details about those who were at the forefront of rediscovering many of these folk dances and setting up the Welsh Folk Dance Society in 1949, such as Englishwoman Löis Blake. Mavis records highlights of her own sixty years in Welsh folk dancing, during which she has traveled widely to dance and taught the discipline in the USA; she explains the history and intricacies of some of the dances; and gives information about dances that she has composed herself. This is a bilingual book, with one color photo section, and diagrams to help with learning the dances.
