Re: Difference Between Briefing a dance and Recapping a Dance

Here in Sussex, there is a dance happening somewhere almost every
Saturday.  We can't possibly practise in class every dance on every
programme even once (despite quite a lot of overlap between
programmes) and someone wanting to go to one of those may well be
unable to attend the particular class when it's practised.  So I don't
think it's fair to expect that people going to events will be fully
confident of every dance.
   
  We've discussed the difficulty for visitors of getting partners (and
  a place in a set) for each dance.  If you have to check Pilling or a
  printed briefing in the gap between dances there's even less chance
  of getting in.  If you know there's going to be a briefing you can
  have more confidence in asking someone.

Branches want non-locals to attend events, they must take them into
consideration.
