Thanks Rich - I have a similar category system now and I am trying to be able to find dances with similar elements so that, like you said, it would be easier to find dances with specific elements.
I have been using Callers Companion to program and like it, but find that I like to see my dance cards and look through dances with the same “types” of moves… that is why I am trying to decide how to go in that direction… Will let you know what I come up with…..

Easy contras 2. Medium difficulty contras 3. Hardest contras. 4. Triplets, circles, scatter mixers, etc. Each dance clearly states the type: proper, improper, becket, etc. at the top of the card. The thing that I can't do, but sometimes might like to do is to search for dances with particular calls such as hey, petronella turn, etc. That might be easier if I kept my dances on a tablet. As I plan for a dance, I will go through each stack and pick out the dances of that type that I might like to call. And depending on the crowd, I can easily adjust the difficulty level up or down during the dance.

I plan to go to “categories of dance features”, and have listed what I am thinking for possible categories below. I am wondering how others organize their boxes - if categories, what do you include ? Do you file Becket and/or Double Progression separately from “dance categories”, or just note on card ? Or do you have another suggestion ? Possible Categories: Easy and ONS Contras California Twirl Full Hey 1/2 Hey Down the Hall Petronella Mad Robin Short Wavy Lines Long Wavy Lines Zig Zag Balance the Ring Box The Gnat ? Four Facing Four ? Becket ? Double Progression ? Unique (e.g. Wizards Walk) Appreciate your suggestions !!
