Alan,
You raise an interesting question. After I’ve had time to sleep on it, I’ve come up with
some other issues to raise and.discuss.
I’m curious if you have a beginning workshop before the dance.
In my opinion the skills needed for a new dancer to not only survive their first dance but
to actually enjoy it are many And that means having a beginning session that
approximates as close as possible the dance itself.
In your email you mention larks and ravens. If you do have a beginning workshop, are the
newbies given the opportunity to practice/react to their new titles? Not having that
opportunity to practice reacting to their new titles may cause a bit of confusion on the
dance floor.
