Why a new breton dancing guide?
There are a great many collections of dance notes published by different confederations of breton dancers, all presented in different ways, and with the aim of teaching and analysing all and everything which has ever been collected or danced… This vast amount of material is often difficult and complicated to understand and use, and many errors have often slipped in along the way.

The explanations are easy to understand

This is one of the reasons why we have decided to write this book, in order to pass on our view of the main dances of Brittany. We have taken care to ensure that the explanations are easy to understand to help you revise or learn new dances, to understand how they work and to memorise them.

Cultural notions
Our main aim has been to present the different techniques and styles as correctly as possible, but also adding to them basic cultural notions about the geography of the regions, the sociological and historical context, to help you understand the styles.

Dance tunes
Dance would have difficulties existing without music. So we have included examples of dance tunes in order to help explain the dances, and form a link to the dance step explanations.
