The Best of the Modern Sequence Dances

Sequence Dancing Scripts from the Archives WordPress.com weblog

About

Welcome. I started this Blog in early 2009 to provide improved access to scripts for modern sequence dances from the archives. Initially I made a selection of 100 or so scripts available here free to view. The selected dances came mainly from the sixties, seventies and eighties, which generated so many excellent arrangements offering both variety and challenge. Unfortunately, dances from this period have now been displaced by the new dances and consigned to the archives. Although the lost dances from the past might be considered a good alternative, the teaching associations do little to promote them. So my hope is to give relative newcomers to sequence the chance to browse the archives to enable them to judge the callibre of these older dances for themselves.

Owing to an increasing interest in the Blog, I have now expanded the Script Library considerably (1800 scripts), which is now housed at a second site elsewhere. To see what’s available visit the latter site by clicking here. However, some scripts remain available here on the Blog via the Samples Page. Plus, the Library is being regularly updated – go to our Updates Page here to see what’s been added of late – and some of these have also been made available for free from that Page. The updates will cover more of the excellent but lesser known dances from the late sixties and seventies selected from our list on the Future Page.

This Blog also contains a Resources Page for useful supplementary materials (such as the Editorials on the dances previously published on the Blog, the Chronological Listings of past Inventive Dance winners, news articles, and some additional useful material on reading dance scripts, including our Technical Tid-Bits articles), plus links to many other sites. The Blog is also used for making announcements relating to the Script Library (see Recent Posts) and provides a medium for discussion & exchange. Please feel free to post a comment. The aim is to have the two sites functioning as a complementary pair.

For those requiring more general information on Modern Sequence Dancing, I recommend visiting some of the sites listed on the Resources Page.

I hope that readers find the facilities offered on both our sites to be useful.

Enjoy !
