With an even number, the dancers will always be doing the same part of the routine with the same neighbors. This will be even more frustrating in short lines.   Tony Parkes Billerica, Mass. www.hands4.com New book!

And may do a double progression so no one  is ever out.   Mary   On Sat, Oct 22, 2022, 1:25 AM Laur via Contra Callers &lt;contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net&gt; wrote: There is such a lack of attendance now post Covid in our area and I’m planning dances and then 20 people show. Do you have best selections or considerations for 20 to 16 peoples for  intermediate experience dancers or secondarily less experienced dancers My immediate question is for more experienced dancers, because this is more of a complex preparation for me.    Laurie Pietravalle  Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone _______________________________________________ Contra Callers mailing list -- contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net To unsubscribe send an email to contracallers-leave(a)lists.sharedweight.net _______________________________________________ Contra Callers mailing list -- contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net To unsubscribe send an email to contracallers-leave(a)lists.sharedweight.net -- -= Victor =- “Do or do not, there is no try.” ~ Jedi Master Yoda _______________________________________________ Contra Callers mailing list -- contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net To unsubscribe send an email to contracallers-leave(a)lists.sharedweight.net
