A future for sequence

The end is nigh for sequence, so the story goes. And every internet forum I browse through seems to come to that same depressing conclusion.

Well, I hope this isn’t the end of the story. One thing for sure though – if sequence is to survive it needs good material that will attract people who are actually interested in finding a way of doing ballroom socially (not an easy thing to do, but sequence really could be a very god way of doing that). The question is whether the new “winning” dances are sufficiently rich and varied to be fit for this purpose. What is clear is that the archive material I am now highlighting in our Library, offers considerably more variety and challenge, and in my view represents the best of what sequence has to offer – despite some of it being more than 40 years old. Please take a look – particularly if your’e one of those people whose previous experience of sequence has not been a good one. Or maybe you are one of those current sequence devotees, completely contented with the status quo – in which case, why not take a look anyway, just to be absolutely sure your’e not missing out on anything. You may be surprised.

The commentaries on the Latest Page give a good indication of what’s there in the archives, and some scripts are provided free to view. Some of the material I have dug out of late, (such as Melodrene Waltz & Fabian Foxtrot & Chicory Cha-Cha, all free-to-view) is really very good stuff that the discerning ballroom dancer would I’m sure approve of. Perhaps it is time to start using it ?
