Learn new dances or refresh your memory with easy to follow animated diagrams.
Coloured squares & circles move to music in the patterns of the dances.
251 dances now available on CD ROM
(Windows and XP only, not Mac or Vista). The selection is based on
dances popular in the Vancouver area and has been updated to RSCDS book
45.
Most of the dances are
presented in two formats in the same CD: the first shows one or two repetitions
of the dance with music; the second has pauses between formations with a spoken
description; both versions have captions. Any part of the action can be
stopped and replayed.
There is also a selection
of formations alone.
There is no attempt to illustrate steps or technique, only patterns and
formations.
I am a member of Gleneagles SCDC in North Vancouver, BC, and
have been working to develop these animations since shortly after starting to
learn SCD a few years ago, as a logical improvement on printed dance
directions in the computer age.
Sample animations may be downloaded. Choose either or both
of: Demo 1 with sound, 2.1 Mb or, short & silent, Demo 2,
at 616 Kb .
Price of CD, including postage: Canada $40, US $45. UK or overseas, £25 or
equivalent.
