The categories I had in mind:<br class="">Family dances<br class="">Glossary contras<br class="">Unique contras<br class="">Odd formations<br class=""><br class="">Are there separate things you'd want to see in a list of dances when you're<br class="">going through? Beckets, Closing dances, bouncy/smooth, etc.<br class=""><br class="">I've gotten really attached to Callers Companion (<br class=""><a href="http://callerscompanion.com/" class="">http://callerscompanion.com/</a>), and really like how it lets searches happen<br class="">on dances. Anyone have a good way to incorporate that, or the type of<br class="">element checklist/flag it provides, into a web-based interface for dances?<br class=""><br class="">It might also be that most folks don't collect dances from websites; and<br class="">this is wasted time. But it does seem like I've obfuscated finding my<br class="">compositions, and I regret not making them more available.<br class=""><br class="">Thoughts, opinions, experience, and advice appreciated.<br class=""><br class="">Thanks!<br class=""><br class="">-- <br class="">Luke Donforth<br class=""><a href="mailto:Luke.Donforth@gmail.com" class="">Luke.Donforth@gmail.com</a> <<a href="mailto:Luke.Donev@gmail.com" class="">Luke.Donev@gmail.com</a>></div></div></body></html>
