Help using the filter

The "filter" allows you to restrict the number of moves you see according to your requirements.

You may have unwittingly already set the filter.  If you arrived at the move list from "All" under "Select move", then the filter will have been preset to include all moves (with one lady).  If you clicked on the ready-filtered selected such as (animated or beginner) then the filter will have been preset - but can be altered.  However if you came in via the weekly specials then filtering is not possible as a special filter has been used

If you are looking for a particular move...

1. "Move type" First decide if the move is with just one lady (quite normal!) or two (greedy).
2. "Start with" Decide if you remember it starting with a particular move.  It is best to use this rather than searching for the name under "containing the phrase" further down as variations in spellings are catered for.  However if you know a move starts with a wurlitzer but then has a side to side in it, you might consider starting with a 'wurlitzer' and containing the phrase 'side'.  If you are not sure about the starting move, then the end of this list also lets you set the starts hand combinations eg Hands: L-R or Hands: L-R (Nel).
3. "Include" Decide whether to include any or all difficulty, intimacy or safety levels. If these boxes are not checked then that particular type of move will NOT be included, ie you will get fewer moves.  Best to keep many checked.
4. "Restrict" Decide if you wish to restrict to moves that MUST include certain features.  If too many of these boxes are checked then you may get few or no moves.  Best to only check one or two.
   • "features" needs little further explanation.
   • "possible by" restricts to moves possible by dancers with limited use in a hand
   •  "containing the phrase" restricts to moves with a particular word or phrase in the move description or title (eg hip or shoulder). Note that multiple words are considered one exact phrase.
   • "reviewed" restricts to moves that have been reviewed (ie more likely to make sense!).
   • "animated" restricts to moves that contain an animation.
   • "favourites" restricts to moves that you have added to your favourites list.  In this case, it is best to remember to set the others to their default condition (ie checked in the green area and unchecked in the pink) unless you have so many favourites and wish to filter down further.  An alternative way to restrict to your favourites is to click the "Favourites" link under the "Personalised" column on the home page.

If you hover the mouse pointer over some of these check boxes, more information will be displayed.

Click "apply filter" to discover how many moves satisfy your criteria.  You can return and amend the filter at any time.  If you wish to reset the filter, just click "All" under "Select move" in the left hand margin at any time.

If you know the Unique Identifier, then type it in the box at the bottom and click "GO!"
