Hi All,
I'm in the process of organizing a new dance series (old style
Community Contra with a variety of dance forms). It will be on a
week-day evening. I'm wondering how long others run their regular
dances, not including beginner sessions or potlucks or such. And
typically how long is your mid-break?
Thanks!

P.S. And thanks also for all the sharing that has gone on in the
past on Shared Weight. I have lots of good notes and ideas from
past posts (from the Callers list).
