Summary:
"Swedish-born traditional dancer and researcher Mats Melin has worked and performed extensively in the Scottish Highlands, the Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland, in their schools and communities promoting Scottish traditional
dance
. He has also taught and performed in Sweden, Canada, USA, Russia and New Zealand. Mats has a vast knowledge of all aspects of the Scottish traditional
dance
scene, but specializes in
Cape
Breton
step
dancing.
One
With the
Music
is informed, in part, by Melin's PhD research on
transmission
practices-how the
tradition
and steps of generations of dancers in
Cape
Breton
get passed on to subsequent generations. His research gives us insight not only into the processes of
transmission
, but also into the complex ways
dance
and
music
in
Cape
Breton
are deeply ingrained in the island's culture. In this book, the home, classroom and square-dance contexts-and, to some extent, concerts-are examined and analyzed following years of interviews and participation."--From publisher.
