Announcement from the Historical Committee in the Educational Department of the WDC&AL


We are pleased to let you know that the new website is almost ready to launch. We will keep you posted and share the link as soon as it is up.

This new site has multiple purposes;

  • We will gather information, pictures, scans and film/video/YouTube materials of the historical development related to our dance form and have it in chronological order. It is meant not only for you, the dancers, teachers and coaches on this platform, but also the public outside the inner circles; i.e. journalists and media, students and scholars for research etc.. Our senior advisors will help in determining authenticity and chronological order as well as submit articles on their “points of view”.
  • The Educational Department will continue to post their articles on Facebook but also on this new DanceArchives site, for easy sharing and “filing” of articles, so that it can be found fast at a later point in time.
  • That is possible since the different posts/articles will have different “tags” i.e. authors name, dates, subject, i.e. music, dances, decade and many more.

We will keep you posted on the launch and the use of this
site!
