Notes on "Notes".
None of the "Notes" for dances listed below are proper syllabi. For "proper" notes, I suggest
searching the California Folkdance Federation webpage lists, a link to which can be found on this website
under "Syllabi & Other Links". Any notes linked below or found on this website are merely shorthand abbreviations
meant to provide only brief cues or reminders for the dance. And, none are guaranteed to be correct, merely
an impression of how I've seen the dance performed at some time. Some of the dances listed below have such notes linked to them.
