I did have one specific dance in mind when I started this thread.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet.
It almost always gets called at dance weekends with open calling--at least in the Midwest,
where such weekends are popular
Of course that could be because its author is from the Midwest. (hint! hint!)
But other suggestions can still be offered.

"The Wizard's Walk tune is often played without the Wizard's Walk dance
in dance halls these days. So why aren't some of the Chestnut tunes played without
the corresponding dance?"
The answer lurks in these lyrics from Fiddler on the Roof: "Tradition, tradition!
Tradition!"

Hey everyone,
I'd like to return to Michael's original thread, before it is forgotten.
The idea of posting our favorite 2 or 3 dances seems like a wonderful
chance to share resources and enrich our dance communities.
Thanks,
Paul
