Folk-dancing as a Popular Recreation: A Handbook
"Miss Burchenal is the best-known American exponent and teacher of the folk-dance." -The Survey
"Elizabeth Burchenal has won wide recognition for her celebration of folk dancing." -The Little Paper
As Elizabeth Burchenal notes in her 1922 book "Folk Dancing As A Popular Recreation," folk dancing has great and worthy purposes to serve; it is a pure and fundamental art form, and as such should be preserved and treasured by us as a factor in the development of art in this country. The greatest potential value to us of folk dancing lies in its possibility as a much needed wholesome form of popular recreation. This aspect of the subject has perhaps been least appreciated.
In elaborating on this theme, Miss Burchenal has discussed some of the principles involved in developing folk dances as a form of recreation and has given practical suggestions for leading and for planning programs.
