With the approach of the Summer Holiday period many dancers are looking for dances

or workshops in the areas they are visiting. One way of finding dance events is to con-

sult the master index of dances hosted by Dundee Branch and maintained by Mary Cant.

But if details of events are not sent to Mary the index is incomplete. Not only are dance

event organisers missing opportunities to swell their visitor numbers, but visiting danc-

ers miss out too. Please, please, will event organisers send details of all their events to

[email protected] for insertion in the index at

http://www.rscds-dundee.org.uk/index.php/scd-events-scotland

This edition of the Newsletter lists details of the first two or three programmes in the

main Summer Dance events and this is to start you off. Remember to pick up the full

dance calendars when you attend these venues as I do not have space to list all the pro-

grammes. If your event is not listed in this Newsletter, it is because the details haven’t

been sent to me, or to Mary Cant.

Organisers, please remember to include all relevant details (including telephone num-

bers, price, and dance venue address/postcode). Not all dancers have internet access and
