WELCOME TO THE 12TH NATIONAL SQUARE DANCE CONVENTION FROM THE RT. HON. THE LORD MAYOR OF PERTH,

SIR THOMAS WARDLE

I extend a very worm welcome to the hundred. of overseo:; and interstate visitors attending the 12th Australian National Square Dance Convention.

This is the f irst time tha t your Convention has been held in Perth but I venture to guess tho l you will nol WOlt for another twelve year .. before you hold your next Perth Conven tion,

I understand that the Convention is a very act ive one with 0 minimum of time devoted to administration and a maximum to Square Dance sessions.

Square Dancing is one of the brightest and most colou rful of a ll dance speCTacles and I am sure Iho t Perth will respond to the festive atmosphere which you wi ll create.

Perth is considered by many travellers to be one of the most beautiful of the Austra lian capita l cities. The winding upper rcache .. of the Swan River, overlooked by the heights of Kir.g's Pork, where the natural fl era has been preserved to a remarkable degree, forms o setting unique in Australia . I hope tha t you will all visit King's Pork, both by day and by night .

Despite the rapid and sudden expansion tha t has resu lted from the min ing boom in the North, Perth ha:> kept il s serene characte r and the undue hurry a nd bustle and tension of other cities is nolice· ably absent, as you will discover fcr you rselves.

Wh ile you are here, I hope that as many as possible of you will travel threughout Western Austrolia to see the natural beauties of the Slate and to inspec t some of the developmen t which is making the 1970's such an exciting era in the Stote's h istcry

To veu a ll I soy ogoin, "Welcome to Perth and 10 Western Australio". 1 know you ore going 10 enjoy your visit ond I look forward to your coming ogoin in the nol teo distant future.

SI R THOMAS WARDLE, Lord Moyor of Perth.

. DANCING STANDARD AT CONVENTIONS

By ERIC WENDELL (QlD.)

What does one expect at a convention with regards to the standard of dancing?

This has always been a problem during past years at national conventions. _ Do '.ve 'strive for big attendances, or do we strive for above average dancing?

I think I can answer this by simply saying "The hosting s tate strives for a good convention - and, after all , good dancing makes a good convention." . It is here where the dancer has a responsibility to himself, as. much as the caller has to himself. , Calle-rs always will bl'1,tshup on their knowledge and ethics to do their ' part in making 'a , successful. convention.

where . where you will learn them.

At a convention it is ,not al· ways practical, 9r is it good manners, for a caller to "walk the floor" through a move· ment, but he has the liberty to explain any points in the dance which could be confus· ing to the ·d-ancer.

I · have mentioned this before - that a dancer and a caller should always leave the convention feeling that they have learned something. With this in mind, I would like to see on each dance night at the convention, something new taught to the floor and with a walk-thru.

\..

Perhaps this could occur TWICE at each dancing ses' sion and from there the callers could work their way around these new movements, knowing ' that the dancers have become familiar with them. Mirid you, when I say something new, I mean NEW to ' most. Undoubtedly there would be mCllny dancers on the floor who could do, and have ·previously danced what is being taught as new, but at least it would be new to a convention here in Australia and very new and. challenging to "the dancer who' has danced it for the first time. Perhaps we could call it a "workshop" bracket.

. If this is to ·be . - . I would not like to see any comp!i<:ated material taught - but .i ust good accepted basics.

.To. h,elp the .caller, and particularly for dancers to help their own caller who has been given the honour of calling at a convention, dancers, too , should· brushup on their knowledge - and particularly their ethics. A listing of basiCs to be used at the Brisbane convention will be detailed very shortly in the Review.

When we talk of "standard For instance, .iust look at , of dancing" we DO 'T mean the "tags". We have *tag the , the latest and greates t - we line, Y2 tag, ¥4 tag, grand tag, simply mean da;ncing with. a tag back to a wave, roll tl'!.e ' variety and using the baSICS tag, tag and spin and so on. with rnore discretion.

Said I, "I love all you girls from the isle so fair,
