Dance Poll
-
We are reinstating our dance poll. You may vote once a week
for the dance that you feel is popular from the list of ten of the recent
dances. The poll will be updated periodically. Please vote for the dance,
not the inventors. You can get the poll by clicking on the web page or by
clicking here. We discontinued
the poll last time as people were voting several times for the same dance
in quick succession, so please keep to the rules.
Searching for a Club?
It's not easy to find clubs
around the country although a large number are listed in some form on the
web. To help you find them we have added a special search facility
to our "Clubs" page. Try it when you go on holiday.
The old ones
You have
YouTube on your
browser. Did you know that some of the old dances are on
videos on this site. You can get it by typing " together sequence dancing
". If you have any dances yourself to load and are on your computer,
you can sign up (its easy), get the category "Entertainment"
and the tags "dancename sequence dancing ". You will upload
the video, but it takes 10 times the download time.
Forums - A forum has been set up to
replace the one previously run by this website. This forum is
"Sylvia's Forum" and you can get the gossip as well as the past
competition results from here. You can get Sylvia's web page by
clicking on the left of this page.
Survey 2006 -
What the Associations are doing! - You will
recall that we held a survey on various aspects of modern sequence dancing
at the beginning of the year. In April 2006 the report and details were
sent to all the professional dance organisations asking for their
observations. We have now tabulated the responses so far and these
are available here.
See what the main organisations are doing for the future of our
style of dancing!
