From The Vaults:
These were drawn by Nancy McGowan for the Texas Camp syllabi long ago. They are caricatures of some of the old dancers. The one of all the mayhem is a representation of how we created and put together the syllabi for many years.- Dena Houston (Thanks Dena!!)

Tips for dancers.
- Wear comfortable, casual, clean, fresh attire for general folk dancing.
- Wear soft-soled, non-marking shoes.
- Take a shower and brush your teeth.
- Use a deodorant but avoid using strong perfumes or colognes.
 - Don't wear sharp jewelry, particularly rings.
- Keep jewelry to a minimum to avoid getting it caught in someone's clothing or hair.
- Keep your hands clean. If they get sweaty during dancing, or you’ve been eating snacks, go wash them.
- If you perspire heavily during dancing, bring extra shirts and change them often.
