1. Have moved www.PartnershipDancing.com to a new framework.
Your username and password should work there too. If not let me know. On this website there is a Forum, which you can update. I will
be using this website to provide you with information to help you in your dancing. Intend to have a members area and plan to move
the book there. Will archive the newsletters there too. Let me know if you need anything that we can help with.

2. Changes in new version of the book.
This version of the book is getting pretty close to the final I intend to release to the general public. I have tidied up a lot of
loose ends. See the Version section at the beginning for major changes. Some of them are:
- Added an Objective section before the Overview.
- Under A for Attitude, added a new page called Requirements and re-did the principles, into Social Values (safety, courtesy,
comfort), Dance Values (natural, freedom, partnership) and Communication Requirements (clearly defined, easy, fast, universal).
- Under C for Connection, explained the details of how to get out of Closed position.
- Expanded D for Direction into chapters. Expanded on the rules for visually following.
- Added some items to the appendix: Logical Principles, Growth of Partner Dancing, Man's Movement and Mixers. Under Man's Movement
explained why it is not possible for a woman to go first and signal all the man's choreography.

3. The book is not understandable unless you already understand it.
There are still sections of the book that are not that understandable if you do not already know Partnership Dancing(tm). One day I
may add a clearer explanation.
For now, the book Partnership Dancing(tm) serves as the rule book. You can refer back to the book to see what the rules are, even
though you might not understand their implications the first time you read them.
-----------------------------------------------------------
4. Companion Workbook and Videos with Exercises and Explanations.
To get better, we need exercises.
To help you understand how to apply the rules and improve your skill, I am preparing a Companion Workbook and video of exercises and
explanations.
-----------------------------------------------------------
5. Israeli Partnership Dancing(tm).
Since each different style of dance has its own characteristics, I am working on Quick Start Guides to help you apply Partnership
Dancing(tm) to your favorite dance.
The first one will be Israeli Partnership Dancing(tm).
