Holly Boyd is a dancer and teacher from Montreal who says: “Dances keep writing themselves in my head and I have to do them and record them so that they will leave me alone and let me think about something else. Not that I mind thinking about dancing. I love dancing. I love the patterns and the music, the sociability of it and (most of) the people who do it.” Holly has published 5 books of her dances - the first “Here’s To You” is no longer available in print (contact TAC Books for a downloadable version) - and the other 4, containing over 100 of Holly’s creations, are available here. Prices range from £3.50 to £11.

Francis Walduck Francis Walduck lived in Queensland, Australia, and in later life became an RSCDS teacher and travelled extensively around the world, dancing as he went. Sadly he died in June 2016, a week short of his 67th birthday, after a 5-month battle against bowel cancer. Francis devised many, wonderfully flowing dances, often inscribed for friends, which he published in 6 books, as well as successfully submitting The Ruby Rant for publication by the RSCDS in Book 49, and having a number of unpublished dances (including Amanda’s Birthday Dance). Queensland RSCDS Branch reprinted the 6 original books and have compiled 3 new books of his unpublished dances (Volumes 4-6 in The Dancing Brolga Collection). All Francis’s books are priced at £2.95 each.
