Hello All,
I have come up with a preliminary program for my dance in East Sandwich
on December 18th. This turned out to be fairly difficult since I haven't
collected very many easy dances. I spent a lot of time with my nose in
"Give and Take" and the other books I have. The crowd will be fairly
unpredictable with regards to the balance of beginner and experienced
dancers since it is right before a holiday and people will be visiting
from out of town or looking for an excuse to escape their families.
I know that there are parts of the program that aren't optimal, but I
feel like there is a progression in teaching figures and a lack of
repetition (except for Long Lines early in the program, but I didn't
know how to get away from that). I have included a couple of moderately
more difficult dances that I can substitute in the program if I feel
like there are enough experienced people to carry them.
See the attached PDF file for the dance cards for this program. I have
made some minor changes to a couple of the dances to fit the program and
the crowd.

La Bastringue

I would love to get feedback from people about what they think. Am I
being too ambitious in certain places?
Thank you!
Chris
