              Why? ...

              Human Kinetics published a new comprehensive book/CDs/DVD of the Laufman’s dances, calls & music.

  • The new dance book is an outstanding resource for PE and music professors, students and teachers.

· Students using the new book in their coursework will easily learn to call dances.

· By requesting the out-of print book/CD, professors can see and hear a sample of the new book.

· The authors wish to clear out inventory of the old books, so they are giving them away.
