ADDING A NEW DANCE STEP TO YOUR STAMP COLLECTION

Tango, The Twist, Ballet... whatever form of dance you are familiar with, you can find it featured on a recent stamp issue. Countries throughout the world have issued stamps picturing not only native or ethnic dances, but dance competitions, famous dancers, and choreographers.

Are you a fan of the tango? You may want to seek out the colorful Argentina 2002 booklet of tango dancers (Scott #2174). Believe it or not, even Finland issued as special tango stamp!
Look for their 1997 issue, Scott #1041.

Russia has honored its native ballet composers- Tchaikovsky, Gorski, and Fokin on many stamps. Monaco has issued a number of stamps for international ballet festivals. One of the most popular and dramatic ballet issues was the 1998 sheet of 20 stamps issued honoring American Ballet.

County Stamp is very proud to present the award winning First Day Covers of cachet artist, Nirlay Kundu. His 4 covers for the 2005 "Let's Dance" issue is an artistic and philatelic tribute to dancers of all ages and of all countries. The special dance step cancellations, along with the dramatic colors and portraits of dancing couples make these covers a great addition to any dance "steps" you have in your cover or stamp collection.
