Woody, I was able to ask for a lesson at the start, but will only do it if there are not enough experienced dancers to help. I’m told to expect new dancers rolling in throughout the evening, so we will have to just teach as we go. Seth, Yes if there are lots of beginners and too few

Dance with a partner and all your friends -- all at the same time! (Graphic of a a big circle of people holding hands in a way that connotes motion.) [For me, the unique value proposition of country dancing (English, contra, Irish, Scottish, Regency, Victorian, square) is that you're dancing

I like the "dancing with the stars" idea. Perhaps the whole point is to * not* make sense. I'll just throw out this one: *Contras *Extreme Social Dancing (It;s not for everyone.) I like the "extreme" part. Kind of gives it an edge. - Greg McKenzie *** On Thu, Oct 27, 2011 at 6:41

Great idea Martha! I like it. I need to revisit the Ants/Pants thing. I find as a "non-traditional" student that most of the others in my classes, while not all 18 but varying ages, greet the word dance with raised eyebrow and glances askew. That word alone seems to be a bit of a "turn off",
