From the PREFACE. This book of folk dances is published for the sole purpose of placing in the hands of the teachers of the public schools and playgrounds in New York City a description and the appropriate music for the folk dances of the course of study and those which have been approved from time to time as good physical training procedure. No attempt is made to justify their use or the grading which is used, or suggested, nor is any scientific or theoretical end to be served by this collection. It is intended to be useful. All these dances have been used with success in this city and may be employed under like circumstances with the prospect of like success. This collection is the result of the earnest and efficient work of the teachers of physical training and the class teachers in the New York City schools, whose devoted efforts have developed folk dancing in its legitimate sphere to the great benefit and joy of many thousands of children. It is in recognition of their fundamental part in the development of this phase of physical training, and on their behalf, that this book is issued. From the INTRODUCTION. Folk dances have come to fill an important place in physical training. They range in character from the simple song play in which the accompanying action may be descriptive of some trade to the highly developed collection of movements which are not descriptive of anything in particular, save the pure joy of life in rhymthmic exercise. In varying degrees are found the elements of song, play, drama, and vigorous muscular work. For our purpose, it is necessary to make a careful choice of material, as many dances are very evidently inappropriate for scholastic and administrative reasons. Folk dances should serve only their legitimate purpose, viz: recreation and other results supposed to be derived from informal gymnastics. Of course, no one expects that the educational, corrective, and disciplinary results which we can best obtain from formal gymnastics, will ever be supplied by the folk dances, nor do we wish them to subserve the functions of athletics, athletic games, or even aesthetic dancing. They supply a charming addition to our physical training procedure and we can expect large results from their intelligent use.

From the INTRODUCTION. It is significant that the folk dance has come to fill a large place in the life of the people of the city. Country men and women coming to the town have left behind them the dances that have formed part of their lives and much of their pleasure, because city conditions were different and country traits unbecoming. Our own country dances "The Lady of the Lake," "Hi! Jim Along," and even the "Virginia Reel" have not survived a separation from their birthplaces. Foreign people coming to our cities form closer groups, and during times of festivity the emotions arising from old associations seek expression in the old dances. The old rhythms of folk dances are common to all human life. Many generations of city-dwelling cannot do more than cover thinly the innate tendencies to dance the old forefather dances of the sod, mountain, or steppe. It needs but the music and festal occasion to fling off newly acquired restrictions which overlie the pure rustic humanity of man. Thus the folk dance has come to signify the revival of the expression of old fundamental rural impulses, pure and lovely as the sunshine of the fields. The general European revival and our own use of the folk dance is an expression of this deep-rooted longing. In New York City dancing has taken its legitimate place in the education and recreation of the children in the schools. There the dances have lightened the formal gymnastics with a natural interest, and have returned large values in a normal joyous expression of fundamental impulses. So few city recreations are not manufactured that the genuine is rare and is to be valued accordingly. This volume of folk dances taken from Swedish sources and sympathetically translated for American use by Mr. Bergquist is genuine and cannot fail to receive the large appreciation it deserves, for he has danced them as his forefathers did in Sweden itself.

This overview of folk dancing in the United States showcases an important historical movement and explains how folk dance communities evolved to fulfill the needs of specific groups of people over time. While the general term "folk dance" encompasses a surprising variety of specific dances, there are three major recreational communities or forms: international folk dance, modern western square dance, and contra dance. Throughout the last century, millions of people have enjoyed folk dancing as an educational and recreational activity, regardless of the particular style. Folk Dancing explains the reasons for the folk dance movement that exploded in Europe and North America in the late 19th century. It describes the clubs, camps, festivals, and communities that sprang up, and examines the culture of the movement—the music, key individuals and events, types of clothing, and influences of technologies and popular culture. The book contains authoritative, original information gleaned from the author's own research conducted with hundreds of folk dance enthusiasts across America.
