Dear Sam John Gardiner-Garden's dances are there for anyone to call - all you need to do is acknowledge it is one of his dances when you call it. We do ask that you do not photocopy or scan pages of his books with dance instructions and music and pass them around - please buy our dance books and CDs and encourage other dancers and musicians to do so. The sale of our dance books helps us to raise our children and go towards our bills. Many thanks, Aylwen Gardiner-Garden http://www.earthlydelights.com.au
