[Callers] Favorite Techno-Suitable Contras?

[Ron Blechner via Callers]

Don,

In my experience with technos, the biggest factors are:

- people can't see as well, and dances are often more crowded, so stuff
with higher collision potential are out. Orbits, pousettes, star promenadrs
... Caution!
- you draw a slightly different demographic, often newer dancers, so the
overall difficulty is lower and you're calling longer
- people get lost easier with less lighting, louder music, music whose
phrasing may not be as clear, and the trancey nature of it. Again, calling
longer.
- Matching balances can be a lot easier or harder, greatly varying on the
songs.

Good luck and have fun!
