What is not in it?Due to copyright-reasons it is not allowed to insert wether the dance-descriptions nor the notes or the musik from the information-sources into the dance-database. In spite of this in the most cases there is the name of the publisher and/or the ISBN- or ordering-number noted, so the user can order the books/records from a provider. |

The history of the dance-databaseSince 1989 the author is gathering folkdance data in a computer. In the first time it was only an 80 column textfile of books and records. But soon the bulk of information became too much and this list was muggled. What to do now? A database-managment-program had to be selected that would be able to search the archived dances and music-titles for different search-criteria. In 1991 Walter Kögler, Stuttgart, in the publication "Tanzen" asked for other dance-collectors, who could help him to put in all the new dances into the computer. A first contact was established and in the meantime there are more than a dozen members from Germany, Austria and Denmark in the 'Arbeitskreis Tanzdatenbanken' of 'Deutscher Bundesverband Tanz', which are working in this area and which place their collected data for the good matter of folkdance at disposel. In 1992/93 the author developed a dance-database-program running under DOS that run successful at some dancefreaks. Since 1995 in the 'Arbeitskreis Tanzdatenbanken' he developed 1996 the Windows-version of this program. In 1996/97 the 'LAG Tanz' (country association of dance) of Schleswig-Holstein put in in only a few sessions 362 books with this program. 157 Bücher, that are nearly 50 %, were already put in before by other dance-collectors. For this 157 books only the own archives-numbers had to be typed in and the job was done. Also only 25 authors and 23 publishers had to be put in, all other were already in the dance-database. The 'LAG Tanz' of Schleswig-Holstein was now at last able to give definit response over the contents of their own archives containing 6.354 dances, if one of their 150 dancegroups had a special question where to find the description or the music of a dance. Such a programm will never be finally finished. Together with the active users problems in the use or functions of the program are resolved. In the first releases of the program it was only possible to insert the contents of literatur and music sources. Now it is also possible to give in additional information for each dance or musik-title contained in the dance-database. More functions are planned and inserted into the program as time allowes. So in the meantime the input of steps and handholdings is also possible (3/2000) Short description of the advantages of the dance-database
