 Dance Poll -

The Poll for the ended on June resulted in the two tangos being the winners. Tamarack Tango came first with 29% and Tango Mosaic came second with 25%. The Mojito Mambo came third with 17%.  The Celtic Quickstep came last with 3% and Sedgehill Samba with 4%. The current poll covers the 9 dances which were the the winners for the last official competitions and this poll will finish in August.  The results for the dances of 2009 and 2010 you can get them by clicking here. 

You may vote once a week for the dance that you feel is popular from the list the recent dances. The poll will be updated periodically. Please vote for the dance, not the inventors.  We discontinued the poll last time as people were voting several times for the same dance in quick succession, so please keep to the rules.

Searching for a Club? It's not easy to find clubs around the country although a large number are listed in some form on the web.  To help you find them we have added a special search facility to our "Clubs" page.   Try it when you go on holiday.  

The old ones You have YouTube on your browser.  Did you know that some of the old dances are on  videos on this site. You can get it by typing " together sequence dance".  If you have any dances yourself to load and are on your computer,  you can sign up (its easy),  get the category  "Entertainment"  and the tags "dancename sequence dancing ".  You will upload the video, but it takes 10 times the download time.

Forums - A  forum has been set up to replace the one previously run by this website.  This forum is "Sylvia's Forum" and you can get the gossip as well as the past competition results from here.  You can get Sylvia's web page by clicking on the left of this page. 

Survey 2006 - What the Associations are doing! -  You will recall that we held a survey on various aspects of modern sequence dancing at the beginning of the year. In April 2006 the report and details were sent to all the professional dance organisations asking for their observations.  We have now tabulated the responses so far and these are  available here. See what the main organisations are doing for the future of  our style of dancing!      - Nothing!
