Book excerpt: In Join Up Hands, author Sue Hulsether gives a volume of simple and accessible set dances stemming from a variety of American traditions. Each of the 23 longways, circle, and square dances is accompanied by clear directions and time-tested teaching tips. But there's more. Throughout the book, the author describes both how to teach the dance moves but also how to build human connection through the dance experience. As Sue states in her preface: "It's about the act of dancing - with each other and with the music. It is about the people, not just the material." Additionally, Join Up Hands is loaded with helpful reference materials and snippets of historical context. Bringing it all together, the book includes a collection of personal essays that illuminate the joy and community made possible when people dance together. Sue's three decades as a dance caller, teaching artist, and music educator inform this valuable resource. With Join Up Hands in your book collection, you will easily take your dancers from "I'm not really a dancer" to "This is fun!"
