BDC announcement - the BDC have asked that this statement be shown below
9th December 2008
To whom it may concern
It has come to our attention that DVDs are being produced illegally of Prize Winning Dances from Sequence Inventive Dance Competitions. Income is being received through a client database, despite the fact that the holder of the database was informed that this was not allowed, without obtaining permission and paying the appropriate fees to the individual organisations.
This action is a breach of copyright and procedures will be put into place by the Briitish Dance Council if the selling of copyright DVDs is not ceased forthwith. The issuing of DVDs to clients also affects the clients who are obtaining illegal DVDs, and action against them may also be undertaken.
To date no permission has been given to any organisation for them to produce DVDs of Prize Winning Dances.
We would request the general public not to get involved in the purchasing of DVDs of Prize Winning Sequence Dances as this could have serious consequences.
Yours sincerely,
Len Armstrong (President BDC)
Roy Sharpe (Sequence Advisory Chairman)

Dancing should be light hearted fun for everyone and that’s certainly made possible with this party dance.
‘Strictly’ Fun Dance, named following the hit BBC show ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ is proving to be very popular with dancers nationwide.
The music, Michael Flatley’s Feet of Flames: Track 6 -Dance Above The Rainbow brings the dance to life, with a steady start building to a real foot tapping finish. (Available on CD priced around £6 and single track down load for as little as £1) - Alternative music is the Scissor Sisters, I don’t feel Like Dancin’
Whatever style of dancing you enjoy this festive fun dance is guaranteed to get you in the Christmas party mood. We hope you enjoy it. Steven Shaw & Helen Blackburn
