Another thing that can be done, if you don’t want to just choose dances based on their
names, is play with the names of the dances you do choose. Nice Tomb-ination. Monday
Nightmare in Ballard. Be creative.

Hello all!
I'm calling a delightful small-town dance here in Melrose, Florida
this Friday...which is Friday the 13th, and also a full moon.
I love using theme opportunities to collect new dances! Anyone have
any ideas?
Off the top of my head, I'll probably need to look into Mirror Mirror
(Jim Kitch, I believe) and Cats and More Cats (Melanie Axel-Lute). I
wonder if I could convince the band to play Stevie Wonder? 😉
Dead Cat Bounce by Nathaniel Jack or Double Cat Bounce by Chris Page.
Evil Duane by Erik Weberg. Hocus Pocus by Lisa Greenleaf. Snake Oil Reel by Roger
Diggle. Lucky 7 mixer. Some of these are just generically spooky, but they might fill a
useful niche. Can't wait to hear what the eventual program is!
