]]> Comment on Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance by sequencedancemag http://sequencedancemag.wordpress.com/2009/02/03/imperial-society-of-teachers-of-dance/#comment-214 sequencedancemag Wed, 04 Feb 2009 15:47:15 +0000 http://sequencedancemag.wordpress.com/?p=1644#comment-214 I am pleased you seem to approve of our blog. As a dance teacher I am aware that although there is information out there about the dancing community, dancers and sequence dancers especially, have had little reason to ask the who where why what when questions. We ran sequence dances for many years and 3 years ago I decided to see if a new generation of dancers would enjoy this style of dancing also. Most of those who come are young professional couples who have no backgroud in dancing but curious to know where they can access information, buy shoes and cd's etc. Having highlighted some of the competitions last year, I am now being asked how these days are run and what can guests expect if they go along. I wonder would you consider letting us have your plan for the day, who will be running the music, who will be judging ( this would be most welcome as we hope to do a feature on judges later in the year), who will be dancing and if possible the names of their entries and the music they are choosing to dance to. Perhaps someone might conclude this years events with a report on the day. Starting times and entry charges would also be welcome. Finally, I note you are considering making your own blog and that is great news. I use Wordpress which gives me a free site, and the choice of about 40 different styles and colours for my front page. You can upload pictures, music, script etc etc It is as easy as sitting down and typing, there is tons of forums and free help, and it is all free. Go to www.wordpress.com Thank you for your time and I hope we can spread the news of all that is happening at your event for you. Please include anyone selling clothes, records etc. Mo Flanighan for sequencedancemag. contact us on www.dance.script@fsmail.net marking subject box sequencedancemag I am pleased you seem to approve of our blog.

After leaving Spain we of course headed for England and did manage to get to a dance at Hartlepool, were we learnt the Grasmere. We are at present trying to get hold of a script for the Sydney swing as we have the dvd, but want to make sure the steps are right. We would very much appreciate any help you could give us.
