Obtaining Dance Scripts

Does anyone know of a source for obtaining individual scripts for a handful of Modern Sequence Dances, without first having to join a subscription service to take all the current competitive winning scripts as they are published. You used to be able to get them from Brockbank Lane, but not any more (without an annual subscription). Even if you do subscribe, if the scripts you want are not in the current year's crop, you have to then buy them individually anyway. Gr!

I had not noticed that recent change of policy by Brockbank-Lane, but Ron and Nichola Lane have just announced that they will be retiring at the end of the year and they are looking for a buyer for the company. It remains to be seen if anyone will take it on and what service they will offer in the future.

There are only a few licensed publishers of these scripts and most offer only a subscription service as a resource for teachers.

One who still appears to be supplying individual scripts is David Bullen (google bullendancing).

Another possibility is the Christchurch (New Zealand) on-line dance script library. This requires a $25 annual subscription for access to all their scripts though I cannot vouch for the integrity or accuracy of the scripts.

For those who are intersted in Sequence Dancing won't be disapointed if they Google " Sequence Dancing Queensland ". they won't be disapointed. Plus there are Links to the UK with lists of competitions.

It sounds as though the Christchurch Club is worth trying. The scripts I want are a very mixed bunch - mostly from within the last three or four years, but some golden oldies too. At the current conversion rate, $25 is rather more attractive than £39 for a subscription that I don't want, just so that I can buy the scripts that I do want for an additional cost.

I'll report back on the quality of the scripts, for anyone who is interested.

Having signed up, I have looked at about half a dozen scripts, and can confirm that they are at least as good as any I have ever seen.

Well worth the modest cost, and a very useful source for reference.

Does anyone know the history of this Christchurch service, and, in particular, whether they have permission to reproduce scripts from the original copyright holders.
