A-Z Catalogue of All Dance Organisations on DanceWeb

This new feature allows you easily browse an A-Z catalogue of all the Dance Class and Event Organisers that have entries on DanceWeb, plus the Organisations that provide Dance Services or Products.

The Existing Directory Browse feature is similar but only lists names. The new Catalogue Browse additionally displays a summary of all the key information for each Organisation; this includes towns where they operate, dance styles they are involved with, and the services they provide.

The feature is here:

Full-Page Calendar of Events Now Available

For some time DanceWeb has had a calendar feature on the Home page; the small calendar shows 6 weeks, with days having events highlighted with a contrasted background colour. When the mouse is moved over such a day, a drop-down appears with a summary of the Events for that day.

The additional new Full-Page Calendar shows similar information, but displayed on a dedicated whole page. The summary details of the Events are permanently displayed. Clicking on an Event title then takes you a page displaying all the details.

The new calendar is in the menu system under "browse", and also links from the title bar of the home-page calendar.

It can be viewed directly here:

DanceWeb is now on Twitter!

Twitter is a "micro-blogging" service that lets you keep in touch through the exchange of quick, short messages - they are each limited to 140 characters! So if you would like to keep updated about all the new information being added to DanceWeb, but don't want to subscribe to any of the existing somewhat lengthy feeds and blogs, then following DanceWeb on Twitter is just what you need.

Every night, all the updates to dance classes, courses, events and services, along with updates to the community news, are condensed into individual "tweets" (Twitter messages), and posted to Twitter.

So by following DanceWeb on Twitter, you can easily keep updated without the information overload. The DanceWeb Twitter home page is:

http://twitter.com/DanceWeb.

Every entry contains a url (web address), that you can click to link directly to the full details on the DanceWeb site.

RSS Feed

If even the above is too much information, you can subscribe to the RSS feed of the same information.
