Mailing Lists
- The English Country Dance Mailing List (which is in the process of being transferred from here). Here you can search the archives for a particular topic (for instance all message titles containing the word “technique”) or join the list, most of whom know what they're talking about when it comes to English Country Dance.
- Traditional Dance Callers List. This group consists of MWSD callers, traditional square callers and contra callers and is remarkable for the way these three groups interact very positively to the benefit of all three. You have to join the group before you can search the archives.
