Laptop Dancing
In what organisers claim is a web first,
surfers will be able to watch a 12 hour
"on-line dancing" marathon from Edinburgh
in October. The event is being run to raise money for the Epiliepsy
Association of Scotland. Anybody with internet access will be able to
view the images of the "laptop dancers". The website will
also be interactive, allowing visitors to sponsor during the event.
The idea for the web-linked video came from Fife-based company Webviews.
Morag Deyes, artistic director of Dance Base, the co-organisers of the event said, "The Dance Around the World marathon will feature dancers from at least ten countries. Dance Base will be providing easy to follow classes throughout the marathon and at any time we could be teaching nationals their own dance."

a Rock-n-Roll ball which will raise money for the Epilepsy Association of Scotland. More than 500 people from all over the country are expected to take part in the French Jiving marathon, which takes place on October 25th.
Lynne Russel, spokeswoman for the charity, said: "Epilepsy affects one in every 130 people - that's 38,000 Scots. The marathon gives people the opportunity to start a hobby whilst raising money".
Chalky, who teaches at the Edinburgh School of Dance in Westfield, said: "We want as many people as possible to join us in the marathon and would welcome any new people keen to learn the moves and prepare for the big event".
