If you want to practice the colonial dances that you have learned, here
are sources for sheet music, recordings to purchase, and an MP3 file which is freely available for
non-commercial use.
Here is the link to a page of public domain folk dance recordings.
On the
web page, click the play button to play a recording of "Flowers of
Edinburgh", or go to recording number 116. Flowers of Edinburgh
is a tune that was
in use in colonial times, and the recording plays five times through
the tune.
Here are three CDs of colonial music for dancing which are currently
available:
Colonial Social Dancing for Children : Music for the Dances
Jamestown Founders Ball
Yorktown Victory Ball : Historic Dances of 1781
Here are two websites where you can buy these CDs, and many other
interesting recordings:
