His work included teaching dancing, lecturing, writing and helping to establish new Morris sides. Over many years he became one of the country's most respected callers, teaching English folk dancing throughout England as well as in Holland, Belgium, France and America. His contribution to the tradition was recognised with the EFDSS Gold Badge.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003eThis collection contains 26 of Hugh Rippon's favourite dances, including several of his own compositions alongside dances collected over the years. Each dance is accompanied by a short note about its origins, while Hugh's foreword provides a useful guide to the terminology used together with valuable advice for beginners and teachers.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003eThe musical side of the collection was carefully developed to complement the dances. Fifty-two tunes from the English-speaking world have been selected and arranged to fit Hugh's dance instructions, with equal attention given to the choice of chords.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003eThe result is a book that works equally well as a collection for callers and dancers and as a wide-ranging source of repertoire for country dance musicians. It combines established tradition with Hugh Rippon's own contribution as a composer and innovator within English folk dance.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cul\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eCollection of 26 English folk and country dances\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eDances selected by respected caller Hugh Rippon\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eIncludes several of Hugh Rippon's own compositions\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eIncludes dances collected over many years\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eShort notes provide background to each dance\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eForeword explains dance terminology\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eUseful notes for beginners and teachers\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eIncludes 52 carefully selected traditional tunes\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eMusical arrangements by Dave Mallinson\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eTunes selected specifically to fit the dances\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eChord choices carefully arranged for accompaniment\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eSuitable for callers, dancers and dance teachers\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eWide-ranging repertoire for country dance musicians\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eUseful for folk dance clubs, bands and workshops\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eCombines traditional dances with newer compositions rooted in the tradition\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eIncludes a FREE Hamcor Publishing Treble Clef Key Signature Bookmark\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003eWhether used as a practical collection of English folk dances or as a source of traditional dance tunes, The Willow Tree \u0026amp;
