DanceMaster Software |
DanceMaster is a trio of round dance computer software programs.
These programs will work together (or alone) to make your life as a
cuer easier and more organized. You can use any or all of the programs,
depending on your particular needs.
|
Windows 11 Issues |
|
DanceMaster still works with Windows 11, but it is an old program,
and on some computers installing it is a little more difficult.
If you run into trouble the steps in THIS DOCUMENT may help.
|
The DanceMaster Record Librarian |
|
can help
you organize and keep track of your dances and records, print lists of
your dances sorted in a variety of ways (including making "Request
Menus" for your dancers); find dances and records, and print record
"jackets".
|
The DanceMaster Player |
|
lets you use your
laptop computer instead of mini-disks or records to teach and cue round
dances. You don't need to carry boxes of records or a stack of
mini-disks and notebook of cue cards to a dance because all the music
and cues are in the computer.
|
|
The DanceMaster Player can do
everything a mini-disk player can do (only better), but that is just
the starting point. DanceMaster
does MUCH more. (Click on any of the text below for an explanation.)
Player is designed to be easy to use on stage, where you have enough to
think about already - you don't want to have to concentrate on a
computer program. That is why all the buttons are big, brightly colored
and logically placed - it is easy to find and click on the button you
want.
|
The DanceMaster Porter |
|
is a computer program used by round dance cuers to
transport DanceMaster "dance
modules" from one computer to another.
In order to use the DanceMaster Porter, you must have
a registered copy of the DanceMaster
Player installed on your computer. It doesn't need to be the
Advanced Edition, but it does need to be registered.
|
NOTE: The current edition of DanceMaster is fully functional
under under all versions of Windows except Windows RT. (To print reports under Windows 7, 8 or 10, you may have to start the
Librarian by right-clicking on the icon on your desktop and choosing
"Run as Administrator".)
