[Callers] Thanks for New Years Ideas

I wanted to say "thank you" to the many folks who chimed in with great ideas about orchestrating the midnight "moment" at a New Years Eve dance. I ended up using several, plus one. Firstly, I took the approach that there would be a New Years celebration at the top of each hour, at least in some time zone, so we might as well join in here too. For midnight local time, we sang "Auld Lang Syne," danced a mixer (Bob Dalsemer's "Lucky Five"), got back to our partners and shifted to a waltz. For one of the other times we did a grand march, shifted to a circle with some ins and outs to get in the shouts, then went into a spiral dance. This seemed new to a lot of the crowd, so it went really well. For one of the other "midnights" we waltzed. -- Jerome Grisanti 660-528-0858 660-528-0714 http://www.jeromegrisanti.com
