Having discovered Welsh folk dancing as a fresher student in 1960, Mavis Williams-Roberts became hooked for life on this Welsh tradition. She joined Parti Prifysgol Abertawe, the college's Welsh folk dance team, and took part in many a noson lawen and competed at the Inter-collegiate Eisteddfod, the National Eisteddfod, and the Llangollen International Eisteddfod.
Mavis recalls her folk dancing journey in this book, initially giving details about those who rediscovered many of these folk dances and set up the Welsh Folk Dance Society in 1949. She records highlights of her own sixty years in Welsh folk dancing (she has travelled widely to dance and teach the discipline); she explains the history and intricacies of some of the dances, and lists and gives information about dances she's composed herself.
