You might check the database used for American Country Dances On Line
(<http://arcserv.astro.washington.edu/dances/default.html>). The
Filemaker Pro database, including a few hundred dances, is available
for downloading. I use this database, although I have modified it
somewhat.

Ok, I can't put this off any longer. I have too
many cards, dances
in the
computer, dances on scrapes of paper. I need a database! I would
like to
be able to enter the dance into it and some other information like
author,
or period or difficulty and then be able to ask it to show me all
the dances
that have ladies chain to hey transitions, or have a California
twirl, God
willing, or half promenade to half right-and-left through's, or
that I once
thought might be good for one night stands with mixed crowds by the
seashore. It could also link back to showing me the entire dance.
I know
that this is very basic database stuff, but I'm not too database
literate.
I have Access and tried to do this there. I'm sure it can be
done. Does
anyone have an off the shelf suggestion, or an easy answer. Easy
answers do
exist for some things.
