Hi everyone, At practice last night we decided that we will go to DERT this year and we will compete. We'll decide next week whether to do a new dance or an edited version of the old dance. Everyone at practice last night said they were free on the weekend of DERT and would like to come. If you weren't at practice last night please let us know ASAP if you will be coming as we need to enter the number of dancers on our entry form which has to be submitted by next week. Also, if you have any partners or friends who want to come please let us know as tickets (£5) for them need to be booked on the same form. I think this entitles them to get in to the Saturday evening showcase (all teams do a dance but it's not part of the competition and it's followed by the awards ceremony) and to book indoor camping. On which point, there are two types of accommodation available - hotel or indoor camping. Indoor camping will be a space on a school floor where you can put your camping mat and sleeping bag. It costs £18 for both nights and includes a light breakfast. The DERT website suggests three budget hotels and one 3 star one. There may be others if you google I guess. Travelodge is the cheapest and most central option and there seem to be doubles still available for £30 and £36 on Friday and saturday respectively. If you want to indoor camp this needs to be booked with you DERT place ie you need to decide where to stay this week. Nikki will be setting up some doodle pads for extra practices and crawls between now and DERT. The more we crawl the better we'll be so please make sure you respond to these as soon as you can. Thanks very much, Ffion

Videos and DERT 2013

by Ffion Dean

Hi all, Videos I finally managed to upload the video from the other week. It's here as an unlisted video so only people with this link can see it - http://youtu.be/1d03cFvNv8U. The purpose of this is so we can all see how the team moves as a group together and to look out for bits where we we can improve (individually as well as as a team). Sorry it's quite blurry - I had to save it at a low resolution to get it to upload! I've also uploaded a bit of the dance from Monday - http://youtu.be/kbCI8fJnbDY. Does anyone mind if I make a higher resolution version of it public? DERT DERT 2013 is on Saturday 9 March. The competition is on this day but people often arrive on Friday evening and leave on Sunday morning. Nikki, could you please set up a doodle poll for this weekend? The cost is £30 for the team and £10 per team member plus £18 per head for indoor camping (other accommodation options are available). There are more details here - http://www.dert2013.org/ At the AGM we decided we wanted to go to DERT and compete with a new dance. When we get back from Christmas there will be 9 practices until DERT so we might be pushing it a little. The options are 1) don't go to DERT 2) go and dance but don't compete (this is usually an option but I didn't see it mentioned on the site for this year) 3) go and compete with our current dance tarted up and tidied up 4) go and compete with a new dance. I was going to suggest having an all day Saturday / Sunday practice followed by a Monday practice, possibly followed by a crawl and then deciding what we want to do. An all day (e.g. 10 - 4pm) practice would give us a chance to try out more figures and put the basics together of a dance we were all happy with before spending the rest of the Monday evenings perfecting the dance. However, the deadline for DERT applications is 15 Jan so we'd have to have an all day practice on 5, 6, 12 or 13 Jan. We'd also have to find a venue. Nikki, could we find out if the church hall was free on Saturdays or Sundays? I have put together a suggestion for a new dance. The majority of the figures are either ones we know from the current dance or ones we've tried out in the last month or so. The ones in italics are exceptions to this: Start with a clash and go in to walk the dog glass into haymarket - 1.45 - 2 in this (not very tidily done!) http://youtu.be/2LPjbcFslnQ Tits Reins into lock 1.05 - 1.25 in this http://youtu.be/C0LmC-MeKig Display lock and spin Hoops Doughnuts Flying pixies Curly 6 person lock It would be good to know what you all think about 1) the options on going to DERT 2) having an all day practice 3) the possible dance above. Nikki, if the consensus is to try and have an all day practice before 15 Jan could you please set up a poll for those 4 dates? Sorry this was such a long email - at least we've all got Christmas holidays coming up for you to read and think it over. Merry Christmas! Ffion x
