	~~(show~~ preview, ~~save)~~		Once you're finished, you can click "Show preview" below your edits to see how things look. You'll probably have to correct a lot because of missing quotes or punctuation or whatever. When you're happy, add an optional summary and click "Save changes" to create the page.

	One last thing: <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki>		One last thing: If you think there's a lot more to say about the dance, put <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki> after the first line. This marks the page as a "stub", a page that needs more content. One thing you can do is to check all the stubs [[:Category:Stubs \| here]] and see if you can fill them in!

			Good luck.
