A good starter-kit for dancing is the Rose and Nefr dance manual, which
has reasonably easy to follow directions and also comes with a 2 tapes of
all the music for the dances - including, I think, Strip the Willow, as
well as the rest of the most common SCA-type dances.  It runs about $20,
if I remember correctly.  I don't have the address immediately to hand,
but I will go look it up and post it (unless someone else beats me to it). 

In service,

(who was dancing the Orcadian variation of Strip-the-Willow just this 
weekend at a ceilidh)
