| A Home Page |
|
Our web pages are
many. Our mission is simple: to provide our fellow dancers with the latest where-to-go-dancing
information whatever their musical preferences. We include all dance
styles and events -- provided the promoters inform us, of course. Our
definition of "all information" is the "who, what, when and where" of
the event. We're sticklers for details. For example,
we know that parents who leave children at home with a baby-sitter want that sitter
to be contacted in an emergency. So, we strive to include
a destination phone number in addition to one for more information from
the sponsoring organization. We update often and have our home page and
some others set to automatically record the date we add new information
or made revisions to a page, so that you will know. |
