I was just thinking the opposite. I think learning dances and knowing dances and how they
flow is a supremely huge part of being a caller and learning calling skills. I don't
think another list is necessary - especially considering that most if not all of us will
be on that other list anyways.

A separate
Choreographers list would be best. Some excellent dances don't experience a period
of popularity because callers can't visualize them. How callers might expand their
dance visualization skills would be a worthwhile topic for this callers' forumNew
dances range from those (1) that recombine figures into original and enjoyable but
non-ingenious ways, and (2) those that show ingenuity by inventing a new variation of a
figure or new transition among figures.

Although I definitely appreciate and incorporate the discussions of new dances in this
list, I would also appreciate, and mostly prefer, a differentiation.
I would like to know that this is the list for calling and another list I can gravitate to
for new dances and discussions on them. I would subscribe to both, and read both. I feel
that the distinction would be most beneficial.

Hi all,
I've been following with interest the discussion on calling
and mentorships.
Ron Blechner mentioned choreographers in his recent post and
I'd like to
expand on that a bit, so starting a new thread.
It's been my experience that unless one is a well-known
choreographer
(Ravitz, Hume, Ormand, Sanella, Olsen, and any number of
others) it can be
difficult get new dances into the light of day and, in the
theme of
mentorship, get feedback on them.
There are certainly a number of dances posted to this list
and feedback is
readily and warmly given. I have gleaned a number of dances
from this list
and am glad to see them, both as a caller and
choreographer.
Three of questions for you:
1. Do you see this [Caller] list an appropriate place
to publish new
dances? Too many postings of new dances could dilute the
[Caller] aspect of
the list.
2. Do you feel there would be interest in a separate
[Choreographer] list?
I can see this list really focusing on creating new dances,
getting
feedback, and getting the word out about new dances. It
could be a nice
venue for choreographic student/mentorship stuff to happen.
3. What would you think about a monthly
dances-of-the-month email to
consolidate new dances into a single or some moderated
number of emails.
