Long Help 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.

Since we are a group passionate about dancing and enjoying our fellow dancers, we want to make it easier to get to know more about our fellow members and guests and make it easier to invite more dancers to join us.

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.
