SignWriting List

Welcome Cristina to the SignWriting List -
It is so great that you got a chance to meet Charles - what a small world!
Yes, of course we can help you ;-)
The DanceWriting Web Site is:
DanceWritingSite
https://www.DanceWriting.org
You will find a catalog and order form for DanceWriting online.
However, I suspect you do not want DanceWriting textbooks that teach
you how to roll around on the floor, or twirl while holding a hat
etc! The DanceWriting books are specifically for dancers who want to
write Brazilian Folk Dance, for example, which has already been
written in Sutton DanceWriting in Sao Paulo years ago....it is not
quite what you need right now.
I suspect that Charles really means that some of the lessons on
SignWriting on the web are now showing that SOME DanceWriting symbols
are blending with SignWriting, to make writing signs more fluid and
flexible.
Therefore, I would suggest going on the web and reading these lessons:
SW Lessons Directory
https://www.SignWriting.org/lessons/lessons.html
Course 1: Lessons In SignWriting
https://www.SignWriting.org/lessons/lessonsw/lessonsw.html
Course 2: SignWriting E-Lessons
https://www.SignWriting.org/lessons/elessons/elessons.html
Course 3: Learn To Read ASL in SignWriting
https://www.SignWriting.org/lessons/readasl/readasl.html
Course 4: Writing ASL Grammar In SignWriting
https://www.SignWriting.org/lessons/grammar/grammar.html
Course 5: Learn To Write SignWriting By Hand
https://www.SignWriting.org/lessons/cursive/cursive.html
Course 6: Lessons In Sign Language Transcription
https://www.SignWriting.org/lessons/transcribe/transcribe.html
And there is a catalog for SignWriting publications on the web too:

Hope this helps!

Val ;-)
