Time and again, I find myself wondering what makes a dance a good one
for ending an evening. Looking at lists like Seth Tepfer's "Groovin'
Dances to End an Evening"
(
http://www.dancerhapsody.com/handouts/DanceEndEvening3.pdf), it's hard
to see what the dances he singles out have in common with each other.
Some are balancey, some oozy, some have lots of swings, some only one,
levels of complexity vary widely, some end with a partner swing and some
don't... Is it just a total crapshoot, a conjunction of a good tune and
happy dancers, or something actually inherent in the dance pattern?
Speak, o hive mind, upon this subject.
