What do folks do to ensure dance booking contacts remember that they've
booked you?
I just had my second booking in a row in a certain geography forget that
they had booked me. What's curious is that in both cases these dances
approached me by email (I could understand it maybe if it were the other
way around?), we had an exchange where we clarified the dates, etc. and
confirmed we were all set. We agreed to connect again with any final
questions on program, accommodation, etc. as we approached closer to the
date. The first case turned out to be rather comical in their confusion -
the second I can't figure out.
So, short of calling/emailing monthly, what do YOU do to ensure folks
remember their booking commitment with you?
Thanks,
Don
I've been adding Triplets into my programs in certain situations and have
given some thought about the duration to run them. I'm curious what others
have determined - how many times through do *you* run a Triplet? Let's see
if we can get a consensus value via a simple poll:

It would be helpful to me if you'd focus quantitative responses through the
poll.
Discussion or qualitative responses which inform your poll input are
welcome here in this thread.
Thanks,

OK. So, hearing only crickets, I'm guessing I may be the first to try
creating a WP custom post type for dances. If I go that way, I'll share
back here.
Speaking of crickets... you might be interested in the below dance I
recently tested successfully.
Happy dancing,
Don
*Cricket's Flight - DI - Don Veino 20160320*
*A1*
(4,12) Neighbor Balance & Swing
*A2*
(8) Mad Robin - Gents into center first, left to right (CW around Neighbor)
(8) Gents Glance Around*^* LEFT 1x
*WHILE*
Ladies Orbit 1/2 CW (pass RIGHT shoulders w/adjacent set Lady)
*B1*
(8,8) Partner Glance Around*^*, Swing
*B2*
(8) LLFB
(8) Gents start Left Hands-Across Star 1x, Ladies Fall In behind P
The A2 here was inspired by Kent Koeninger's "Cricket's Delight" (
http://www.library.unh.edu/special/forms/rpdlw/syllabus2009.pdf#page=44).
*^Please, oh please*, I don't want to get the whole terms debate fired up
again and *I ask you not to* rekindle it on on the basis of this post. Given
the move is used twice here, I found myself in a quandary as to how to
annotate this dance to post it. "Glance Around" (or shortened to "Glance")
is a term I'm personally evaluating (a.k.a. Gypsy). I welcome you to
annotate/call this dance however you chose, or to ignore it, as you see fit.

Someone in Ontario has contacted me looking for a caller of Contra and/or English dance who is part of the LGBTQ community.
This is for a one night event in August this summer, in Haliburton, Ontario, within a week-long camp for the LGBTQ community.
Contact me and I will hook you up.
Thanks!

Hey folks! I'm evaluating options for posting my dance compositions.
I'd like to do so in a way that provides capability for searching on
pertinent characteristics and for feedback/comments.
I could hack something together (slowly) on my main web site but I
currently also use WordPress as a blogging platform, and that already has
many of the desired features built in (search, categories, tags, comments,
anti-spam tools, etc.).
However, the generic WordPress blog post format doesn't provide a suitable
taxonomy for presenting a dance. I could just format stuff consistently
into the body of the post but I'm wondering if anyone has already done the
work of developing a custom post type and taxonomy for dances in WordPress?
If not in WordPress, has anyone created a similar approach using another
common blogging or Content Management System?
Thanks,
Don
