Each script provides a detailed description of the dance and is divided into four bar headings. This acts as a shorthand version of the routine giving you a flavor as to the intricacy of the dance. Every bar is then described in detail, with each step making reference to the direction in which it is being taken, the amount of turn, if any, and the alignment of where you are facing or backing at the end of the movement. Footwork is also stated to help you establish the correct rise and fall.

There are three script service providers and each offers a different type of service where prices vary. click here

Occasionally amendments are made to dance script after they have been issued and the arrangers kindly contact us. Here are the latest corrections.
