Thanks, David, for filling in the blanks on those dances. I know that Tony Mates is out of town right now, and would have provided names if he knew them, so now he can update those videos with the correct dance titles.
This was a huge labor of love by Tony and other volunteers at Dare To Be Square (DTBS), and I really appreciate having such a wonderful archive available for us to refer back to. If you are curious about DTBS, we will be having another DTBS weekend in Seattle on November 4-7. It is still in the planning stages, but more information can be found at http://www.bubbaguitar.com/d2bs/.
