-I haven't put any 'down the hall in a line of
4' within the programming. I would try them another time in Maberly but it seems to
be a challenging move for that community. One reason is that the hall isn't very big
so it's hard to get a good feeling in that move.
Lately in my tentative program I've had some slots with multiple
dances and I pick on the spot depending on the situation. For
instance a 4 facing 4 needs a good crowd or you spend too much time
waiting out, while a dance with actives and inactives is better with
short lines so you can run everyone through both roles, and a "down
the hall" needs room. Maybe the line of 4 could work early or late if
that dance tends to have people show up late or go home before the
end.
Just IMO, dances that have long and short line balancing and alemans
in increments of 1/4 to get between them is maybe a bit confusing for
a high percentage of beginners.
