strathspey Archive: Featured Dances for 05-06

Anyone know when next season's selection of Featured Dances comes out? Or,
better yet, a 'hint' of what they might be? And where they will first be
published?

This is a marvelous idea. Folks all over the world can work on the
'prescribed' dances, and when we dance out of town, or plan workshops and
dances and invite non-local dancers, we can rest assured knowing we all have
ten dances in common that we've worked on all year.

Also, does anyone know how long featured dances have been a practice? This
is only the second year I've heard of them.

Thank you.
