Dancing Dialogues - present and connect folk dance groups 🔗

Dancing Dialogues is a project with the Royal Holloway, University of London and aims to present and connect folk dance groups, events and activities in the UK in an easy-to-use digital space.

The website will consist of static (e.g., Home, About) and dynamic (e.g., news, blog) areas. Pages can contain mixed-media content, blending textual information with photos, videos, PowerPoint presentations and slides, PDFs and documents, social media posts. The core of the website will be a map that shows entries about folk dance groups, related events and activities. The website will provide the means to:

• Register an account so that folk dance groups can add/edit their profile, events and activities and assign them on a map location.
• Harvest RSS feeds and posts from selected folk dance groups in a dedicated web page (social wall)
