I took a brief trip to a dance in Montreal when visiting New England earlier this year, to indulge my passion for French Canadian music. A band called Revellions was playing - awesome music. The dancers were having a great time, and helped me through with the French calls - but it was fascinating to note that much of the terminology was identical (chain, dos-a-dos, swing, promenade all seem to have their roots in French). 

Does anybody have instructions for any simple Quebecois dances they would be happy to share  with me?

Cheers
Jeanette
