Bear Dance was the first tune we added to the Slow Session website and has become the tune we start the session with. It used to be the first tune on the list and once the habit started, it stuck!

Simon has found some harmony parts so I’ve re-transcribed it and added those (see below). However, it is a good tune for harmonies, so feel free to experiment with others too.
