About the Dancers Directory

  • The Dancers Directory was orginially called "Dancers 111".
    (In Switzerland you will get directory assistance when you dial 111).
  • The first version got created in spring 1998.
  • The idea came up because of Herräng Dance Camp that happens every year. You meet there a lot of people, but you forget their names or don't have their addresses when you need them.
  • Just right for the Millennium Party we got our 1000th member.
  • In February 2000 the Directory was down due to a server crash.
  • In March a preview of a new version was out. But you could only search for dancers.
  • Just right for Herräng 2000 the new version of the Dancers Directory is out. Fully functional again.
