<<< I Think that is a GREAT idea!! I know that one of my biggest problems
is that I don't have a CD with the specific DANCE music on it, or if I
do, it is by another name and it is hard for me to know which dance
goes to it. (I know that they are out there, any suggestions??) >>>

Until such time as the MMM can record and produce a CD, here are some
suggestions on what is commercially available. CD Baby is a great
resource -- no connection other than a satisfied custormer. The same for
the other merchants mentioned. I either own each CD listed or I have
heard it/danced to it from another dance instructor.

Bransles:

1 -  Tempus Saltandi -- Wolgemut - available from CD Baby
http://cdbaby.com/cd/wolgemut03   $12.95 (Track list: Double, Single,

on that CD - even though they could check out the contents on the
webpages.
