I don't think dancers particularly care about Becket vs improper per se. They care (to some degree *) about the dances seeming too similar, but I think what gives that impression is largely transitions (do they all start the same? do they all end the same?), distinctive figures (do they all have Rory O'Moore balance-in-lines in them?), to some degree mood (are they *all* slinky? are they *all* rowdy?), not whether you have them circle left 1 place after they take hands four. If you aren't boring the dancers with sameness, I don't think you have to worry about the actual numbers. That said, I seem to call somewhere between 0 and 4 out of 10. -- Alan -- =============================================================================== Alan Winston --- [email protected] Disclaimer: I speak only for myself, not SLAC or SSRL Phone: 650/926-3056 Paper mail to: SSRL -- SLAC BIN 99, 2575 Sand Hill Rd, Menlo Park CA 94025 ===============================================================================
