You are missing an obvious reason why Trip To Phan Reel is not called more
often. It's a Thanksgiving Day (or the weekend after Thanksgiving Day)
dance. Not that the name should matter, but it does.
Kimmswick FIxx is a really good dance, but somehow I only call it on
Kimsswick weekend. There are other "seasonal" dances that are called less
often than they should.
Of course a really good dance can overcome its name. I think "The Big
Bicep" is an awkward name at best, but the dance is getting called a lot
because it's so much fun that we forgive it its name.

I think I'll call Trip To Phan tonight -- just because.

Although I consider 3,33-33 an excellent dance, so
many have designated
3,33-33 as awesome that it, like the word awesome, has become overused.
Some years ago (I speculate 20 or so) Susan Kevra wrote this wonderful
dance Trip to Phan Reel (

For a year or so one could hardly attend a dance weekend without dancing
Trip to Phan Reel. Then it slowly subsided to very occasional use.
Does anyone have any ideas why the calling of 3-33-33 (of the same
vintage, as suggested by
http://www.cambridgefolk.org.uk/contra/dances/steve_zakon/three_33_33.html),
has not similarly subsided ?
