Hi organizers, Delia, Mac, and Larry --- thanks so much for sharing your resources! Delia - I especially loved the tone of the handout you sent... beautiful. :)
I had forgot but I had written something on this 5yrs ago for our website... http://www.ottawacontra.ca/view/?about However, it certainly wasn't meeting the need I was looking for as I wouldn't be trying to create something similar now. [Also wayyyy too long winded.] :) It does have some info that folks might find interesting though. I'm planning on listening carefully to a workshop George Marshall's offering this month in Ottawa called "How to become everyone's favourite dance partner"... he should have many great ideas. And then... I hope to learn lots at Puttin' On The Dance 2: Hands Across the Border too!!!! :) http://www.puttinonthedance.org/ Emily On Wed, Sep 3, 2014 at 8:29 AM, Delia Clark <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Emily! > Here's something from my files.
