Hello all,
I'm posting on behalf of southern California musician Ned Boyer, who plays in several French Canadian-oriented bands. Ned is looking for the dance figures that traditionally have accompanied the tune "La Cardeuse." He's tracked down a book that has two versions of the dance, but hasn't been able to get his hands on the book itself (La Danse Traditionelle Dans L'Est du Canada, Simonne Voyer, Presses de l'Universite Laval, 1986). Can anyone help with figures for La Cardeuse, whether from the Simonne Voyer book or otherwise?
Thanks,
Jeremy Korr (Rancho Cucamonga, CA)
