What Does the Advanced Edition of the Player Do?

The Advanced Edition of the DanceMaster Player adds a few nifty features to the Basic bag of tricks. These include:

Remote Control
When you are teaching a dance, you can select, start and stop music from the dance floor using a shirt-pocket size remote control, as you can with a a mini-disk system. Unlike a mini-disk, however, you can also change the volume of the music and/or cues, change the speed, "skip" forward or back in the music by 10 seconds at a time, set & jump to bookmarks.

Scrolling Cue Cards
You can have DanceMaster Advanced keep track of your place in long or complicated dances - it will scroll the cue card and highlight your next cue for you. Even better, you can start the music at any point by selecting a figure on the cue card and clicking "Play".

Dance Logging
Each time you cue a dance, DanceMaster makes a note of when and where it was cued, and how many people danced it. That means that it can then tell you :

  • When you last cued a given dance for a particular group.

  • When and where you have ever cued a given dance.

  • What dances you are doing a lot (overdoing?) or neglecting at each place.

  • What dances you have ever cued for any group

  • What dances you did on a particular night.

  • How many people typically get up for a given dance at a given place.


Reminders
You can also tell DanceMaster Advanced to remind you to review certain dances every so often (so the dancers don't forget how to do them).

Alarm
DanceMaster Advanced includes a timer that you can use to time refreshment breaks and keep the dance flowing.
