Southern Missouri Jig Dancing
Creator: Peter and Marget Lippincott (1984)
This 28 page booklet was Volume One of a projected series on Traditional Dance in Missouri. It is based on extensive fieldwork by the authors in two southern Missouri counties, Wayne and Douglas. The authors describe the social setting of the dances, include an essay by Charlie Walden about the relationship between traditional fiddling and dancing, offer a glossary of basic terms and figures, and provide detailed dance instructions for nearly twenty dances collected in Ava and Greenville.
The Related items will take the viewer to additional moving images and text that would be of interest. For information on the Lake of the Ozarks dance team, search under that term; for even more items in the SDHP collection, do a search for "Ozarks."
