# Dancelist data
This repository contains the data behind https://folkdance.page/ and https://balfolk.org/, lists of
social folk dance events. Additions and corrections are welcome, subject to the listing policy
below.
Code for the website itself is in a [separate repository](https://github.com/qwandor/dancelist).
## Listing policy
This list is for social folk dance events which are open to the public. This includes both regular
social dances, special one-off dances and multi-day events such as festivals.
| In scope | Out of scope |
| ------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Social folk dances, such as balfolk, contra and ceilidh | Performance dances, such as Morris |
| | Other styles of social dance, such as Lindy Hop, forró or tango |
| Folk dance festivals | Folk music festivals without a substantial social dance component |
| Regular or one-off social dance events with live music | Concerts |
| Events open to the public | Private parties or clubs |
| In-person events | Online events |
## Format
Event data is in YAML format under [events](events/), with generally one file per location or
organisation. Each file may contain one or more events.
### Required fields
An event must have at least a name, a start and end date (they may be the same) or datetime, a country, a
city, at least one style, and at least one of `workshop` or `social` must be true. Times should be in the
local timezone of wherever the event is taking place, with a timezone offset included. The first line of
the file should be a modeline referring to the [JSON schema](events_schema.json)). For example:
```yaml
# yaml-language-server: $schema=../../events_schema.json
events:
- name: Clandestine Mazurka in Northampton Square
start: "2022-05-13T13:00:00+01:00"
end: "2022-05-13T15:30:00+01:00"
country: UK
city: London
styles: [balfolk]
workshop: false
social: true
```
Or with just a date:
```yaml
# yaml-language-server: $schema=../../events_schema.json
events:
- name: Clandestine Mazurka in Northampton Square
start_date: 2022-02-13
end_date: 2022-02-13
country: UK
city: London
styles: [balfolk]
workshop: false
social: true
```
### Dance styles

### Optional fields
