I don't read the request as going beyond beat counts. The basic message
is hearing the music, stepping in time, and getting to where you need to
be in eight beats. Then you have various balance-and-four beats and
balance-and-twelve beats figures. You have the timing of the turns on
down-the-hall. That sounds to me like plenty of material for 1 1/2 hours.

Been hired to lead a dance for a music school -- ages 5 and up to
teens and their parents and my contact asked if I could lead "dances
that encourage really paying attention to beat counts….throw in some
music education in addition to fun."
So I'll do my standard ONS dances for this group to recorded music
that has very good beat counts and distinct phrasing. That's not the
problem. The problem is *"throw in some music education." *I don't
need a dissertation, just bits and pieces. The dance is only 1-1/2
hours long followed by ice cream.
I've got a job that keeps me pretty busy and am training for a new job
that's taking up a lot of my time and I just can't think anymore.
Any suggestions?
