HOTTIPS
Where Would We Be Without… Danny Miller, Sherry Mask & Sandra
Eason!
From the first tip on Friday evening to the last one on Sunday afternoon,
PDP10 ran like a well-oiled
machine. Danny and his team worked
tirelessly to make sure that all participants
would have a terrific experience and they
succeeded. Jimmy Roberson, Gary
Monday and Matthew Temples provided
us with everything we could ask for:
Mainstream, Plus, Advanced, Challenge
and Rounds. The space was perfect, the
sound system was excellent and the participants friendly and helpful. Special
thanks to Marek White for the beautiful
flowers, to Rodney Tweedy for creating
the St. Patrick’s Day Trees, all of the
volunteers, sponsors and generous donations
(Chick-Fil-A, Sammiches, Eddie’s Attic, Out of
the Pan, Pets Playhouse on Ponce and ArtLite).
Thanks for fantastic weekend!

SQUARE DANCE ATTIRE: A LITTLE HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Modern Western square dance has developed a "look" that has become known as "traditional square
dance attire", a "look" that has nothing really to do with traditional square dancing. This style of dress
developed when square dance’s popularity in the United States increased after World War II, and began
soaring during the '50s and early '60s. Several factors may have helped influence the look that has become known as "traditional square dance attire". These include the visibility and popularity of square
dance performers such as Lloyd "Pappy" Shaw‘s traveling troupe of "teenage cowboy square dancers";
the way square dancing and the west were portrayed in western movies and early television; and the
popular clothing styles of those times, for example poodle skirts.
At the non-challenge levels of modern Western square dancing participants are often expected to wear western-style square dance
outfits, or "traditional square dance attire", especially at large dances. Over the years, there has been much discussion within
square dancing circles about relaxing the dress code, and this has led to the adoption of alternative less restrictive attire designations— "proper" attire and "casual" attire. Clubs that sponsor dances are free to select a less restrictive dress code and are encouraged to advertise the dress code that is appropriate for their dance. Some clubs drop the "traditional" dress code requirement for
classes and for their summer dances, and some, like challenge groups, gay square dance clubs and youth square dance clubs, have
never had a dress code.
Traditional square dance attire for men includes long-sleeved western and western-style shirts, dress slacks, scarf or string ties
(bolos) or kerchiefs, metal tips on shirt collars and boot tips, and sometimes cowboy hats and boots.
Traditional square dance attire for women include gingham or polka-spotted dresses with wide skirts or a wide
gingham or patterned skirt in a strong dark color with a white puff-sleeve blouse. Often
dancers wear specially-made square dance outfits, with multiple layers of
crinolines, petticoats, or pettipants.
Partners might have color- and pattern-coordinated outfits. Both sexes might wear boots.

DID YOU KNOW?
All Join Hands Foundation Ltd, is a 501(c)3 charitable organization
dedicated to supporting the funding of projects that will preserve and
promote Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered (GLBT) square
dancing and other associated dance forms. The projects will protect the heritage of the activity and contribute to its growth, emphasizing the social, physical, and mental benefits of square dancing. All Join Hands
Foundation will also increase public awareness, educate and inform the general public about preserving the
art of square dancing, educating the public on GLBT square dancers, and educate the public about square
dancing as an art form.
The idea for All Join Hands Foundation, Ltd. came from a brainstorming session by a group of dedicated
square dancers who attended the Make Magic convention in Vancouver, British Columbia in 2001. In 1995,
Joe Petersen, a member of the Rocky Mountain Rainbeaus in Denver, left provisions in his will to give money
to the International Association of Gay Square Dance Clubs (IAGSDC). The Petersen Fund was created as a
result. Others have since inquired about how they could help further gay & lesbian square dancing.
All Join Hands Foundation, Ltd. was formed in 2002. It is registered with the United States Internal Revenue
Service as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt corporation.
All Join Hands is an Associate member of the IAGSDC and sits on the Governing Board of ARTS (Alliance of
Round, Traditional and Square-Dance Inc.)
