Hi all,
I'm calling a dance this Friday on a dock (over a reservoir). I
anticipate (fear?) the following problems: mostly new dancers (we're
frequently 3/4 new or new-ish); dancers having difficulty hearing me
(although I will have a mic); and a relatively rough dance surface
(they hold Latin Dance Club events here frequently, so it isn't
entirely undanceable).
As a result, I've been looking for simple dances that allow dancers
to help each other -- lots of contact, and balances/clapping/other
"here's where we are in the dance"-type noises have been a focus of
my planning. But I'm having a little trouble with putting together a
set list with sufficient (to my mind) variety, so I'm turning to the
list for suggestions.
One additional note: our organizer told me that petronellas are on
the challenging side for our group even though they love them; I
think this particular dance surface would make them not-fun to
dance, too. So I'd really love dances that include balancing a ring
but don't include a petronella.
Thanks!
Louise.
