DRDC ARTICLESIn 2005, we began to write educational articles, and to edit articles written by others, for the monthly newsletter of the Dixie Round Dance Council. Elsewhere, we have a list of these and other dance essays, loosely organized by topic (see Dance Articles in the navigation bar at left). Below, we list the DRDC articles chronologically. An admission — a web site is temptingly easy to edit. Along the way, if I thought of something to add or thought better of a statement, I might have done some revision. So let's just say that a version of each of these articles was published in the newsletter. 2004How the Phase Rating System Reflects the History of Modern Round Dancing by Veronica McClure (PDF), 2/20042005There Is More Than One Way To Lead, 1/2005 Don’t Fight With Your Partner, 2/2005 Icing On the Cake, 3/2005 Skiing Through the Foxtrot, 7,8/2005 The Foxtrot & Quickstep, 10/2005 Some Waltz History, 12/2005 2006Dancing Or Just Standing There, 1/2006 Pitfalls In Lead & Follow, 2/2006 Balance and Good Posture, 3/2006 Jive and Swing, 4/2006 West Coast Swing, 5/2006 West Coast Swing Figure Patterns, Part I, 6/2006 West Coast Swing Figure Patterns, Part II — Four-Count and More, 7,8/2006 Dance Position and Connection Between Partners, 9/2006 Dance Position and Connection, Part II — A List, 10/2006 Twists and Twist Turns, 11/2006 Single, Double, and Triple Twist Turns, 12/2006 2007Hip Twist Figures, 1/2007 Be Gentle, 2/2007 Tipples, Ripples, and Body Rolls, 3/2007 The Healthy Side Of Round Dancing, 4/2007 Inside & Outside Rolls In Slow Two-Step, 5/2007 A Few Rondes In Slow Two-Step, 6/2007 Animal Figures, 7,8/2007 The Long and the Short Of It, 9/2007 Mini-Picture Figures, 10/2007 Let's Put On A Show, 11/2007 Samba by Chris & Terri Cantrell (PDF), 12/2007 2008Continuous Figures In Latin by Harold & Meredith Sears, 1/2008 Continuous, Extended, and Interrupted Figures in Smooth by Harold & Meredith Sears, 2/2008 Paso Doble Styling by Shirley Aymé, 3/2008 Left Hinge, Right Hinge — Increasing Figure Variety by Harold & Meredith Sears, 4/2008 Give Her Leg A Nudge by Harold & Meredith Sears, 5/2008 Rumba Styling by Shirley Aymé, 6/2008 Whip Her Across by Harold & Meredith Sears, 7,8/2008 Foxtrot — Do we need to / should we always start with phase III?
