[Callers] dances for Halloween

[Luke Donforth]

Well, there's what the kids go for: "All You Can Eat"; possibly of
something tasty for the season, like "Apples and Chocolate".
If you're not on the food part, there's "Black Cat Mixer", "Dancing In My
Bones", or "Witches Star".

Having danced at themed dancing where the theme overran programmatic
considerations; I'd say a holiday theme can be well used like a spice: just
a little to keep it interesting.

But if one of these fits you program, enjoy.
