Dance Instructions

3 OPTIONS FOR TRACING THE INSTRUCTIONS

FOR A DANCE

(1) I Shall encourage our MCs to supply a cribsheet for any dance programme they have devised, and especially when little-known dances are featured. This will be posted below.

(2) You may decide to download the free Minicrib* software to run on your computer. This now contains the descriptions of about 3000 dances in a form which makes it very quick to generate and edit any cribsheet yourself . Begin by clicking on the Information box, and then click on the version of Word that you are running on your computer. Get in touch with me ( Brian Lawrenson) if you have any difficulty.

(3) Use the Leeds RSCDS library * of Minicrib dance instructions without having to download your own software. Just locate the instructions you want, then copy and paste into a blank Word document. This will take a little longer than having your own version, but you can do it from any PC. Notice that you need to type the exact title into the box to gain access to all of the Minicrib dances. (The A-Z index contains only some of them).

* left click on the blue word(s) with your mouse to be taken to the website concerned.
