<div dir="ltr">Hi Maia,<br><br><div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra">I used to organize my dance cards by difficulty, but currently, I use categories in my box that are largely based on dance-defining figures (Petronella, star promenade) and types of progression (slide left, circle-pass-through). I find that system of organization to be more useful when writing out a program for an evening.<br clear="all"></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div>Dugan Murphy<br><a href="mailto:dugan@duganmurphy.com" target="_blank">dugan@duganmurphy.com</a><br><div style="display:inline"></div></div></div></div>

As I overhaul my contra deck and realize that my difficulty ranking system<br>
is super incoherent, and most of my dance rankings are from way before I<br>
had any idea what actually makes a dance easy or hard, I've been thinking<br>
of scrapping this difficulty ranking system and just starting over. So I<br>
was wondering: if you rank your dances by difficulty, what is your system,<br>
what are your benchmarks for various difficulty levels, what sorts of<br>
things do you consider when determining the difficulty of a dance? If you DON'T<br>
rank your dances, why not?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Maia<br>
