The Dance Calendar US (DCAL) website is a dynamic database
driven calendar information and management application. It provides
basic information to members and prospective guests.
It also provides a lot of calendar self-service features
to reduce the administrative effort by those that create and manage
dance events and lessons.
Guests, those without a login account, can query dance events and venues
for the upcoming week or month and get enough calendar details to attend.
Those who are members have more privileges.
The special category of users are those with edit/contribution privileges
who can create and update events on behalf of their organization
(e.g. a dance studio, dance instructor, or venue). To apply to have this
privilege, fill out the feedback form.
Each person given a login account with a specific level of privileges on the website.
(more details at the login overview).
Once logged in, users will see many functional option links in the top
navigation banner at the top of each page including:
- Add User: Where you add basic contact information to someone we want to participate
in our website and dance events.
- Attendance: Where you sign up for a dance event or lesson.
You can also see who has already signed up and who has not signed up to nudge our friends
to get the dance or lesson on their calendars.
- Event Calendar: List dates, brochures, photos for dance events.
- FAQ: Frequently asked questions and status updates.
- Feedback: Form for getting help, asking questions of the webmaster.
- My Info: Updating your contact information for the directory.
We want you to be in charge of how much information you want to share and with whom,
more details about that on the help pages discussing
access and
privacy.
- My Preferences: Update your wishes about getting the newsletter, receiving emails, and sharing contact info.
- Roles: Who is doing what in service to the club, including the board of directors.
- Surveys: Any current or past surveys.
- Who: Look up information about community members, instructors, music providers, and staff.
(The management of that is discussed under privacy.)

Each of the links takes you to a page where you can query and list information about
our events, and sometimes update information about you.
Remember that this is all to make being a member of the dance community
more fun and to enhance getting
to know, enjoy, and ease the things we like to do most: getting together, socializing, and dancing.
If anything is confusing or overwhelming, click on the
Feedback
link in the upper
navigation bar and Jerry Bowes,
the Webmaster, will get back to you to help.
